## The programs

Here are implementations for some programs from the [Computer Language
Benchmarks Game](http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/) for Gambit.

Running
[k-nucleotide.scm](Programming%20language%20shootout:%20k-nucleotide.md)
with the largest data set creates a string of length 5,000,000. With
four-byte characters (Gambit's default) this is 20,000,000 byte object,
and the largest object that can be created in a 32-bit system is a bit
less than 16MB. So, either configure Gambit with --enable-char-size=1
(or 2) or use a 64-bit version of Gambit.

The suggested build and install procedure for Gambit on the Computer
Language Benchmarks Game machine is

    ./configure CC='gcc -march=pentium4 -mfpmath=sse -msse2' --enable-single-host --enable-char-size=1
    make
    make install

This installs Gambit in `/usr/local/Gambit-C`, and the binaries `gsi`
and `gsc` are in `/usr/local/Gambit-C/current/bin`.
