Dear Maintainer,

I'm not able to use the libraries with gsi. I tried gsi, but the problem
is probably generic.

I start gsi by:

    shell> gsi

I get the regular "welcome" message and a prompt:

    Gambit v4.9.3

    > _

Then I try the module import:

    > (import (srfi 1))

and I get:

    *** ERROR IN (console)@1.2 -- Unbound variable: import

This is not expected. The "srfi-1" library should be build-in.

If I compile Gambit from source, I get the expected behavior and I'm
able to do the import.

Best regards,
  Tero
