Dear Taylor,
I have ncurses and the related headers installed.
I tried the procedure again with an older gcc (7) for the same result
(Werror complaints).
I also tried on Arch linux and it worked fine, without build errors.
I finally got mit-scheme-11 REPL to start on Gentoo by taking the
prebuilt version (mit-scheme-11.1-x86-64.tar.gz) and skipping Werror
during the build. Looks like some headers issues combined with the very
old C code of these two files and compiler configuration.
scmutils doesn't run on the new version though.
Bad compiled-code version in FASL File: mit-scheme-x86-64-11.1/mechanics.com
File has: compiled-code interface 3; architecture 14.
Expected: compiled-code interface 4; architecture 14.
Microcode Error: No error handlers.
Error code 0x3a (fasload-compiled-mismatch)
I will stick to the older version for now.
Best,
Gabriel

At first the package doesn't compile with gcc 10.2 (I guess it would be
similar with previous versions) because of Werror in the microcode/ folder
and in particular termcap.c. Some of the issues reported are quite
serious I guess such as casting a 64 bits pointer into a 32 bits int.
Try installing ncurses, termcap, or curses (development headers and
libraries)?
(We should maybe just get rid of the ancient compatibility termcap.c,
and either make termcap/curses mandatory or kick it out of the
microcode into a plugin, so people stop tripping over this.)
When I skip Werror from the configure.ac/Makefile files it does build
but fails later building make.com.
To build 11.1 from 10.x, you need to do a cross-build, even if you're
building for x86 on x86:
cd mit-scheme-11.1/src
./configure --enable-cross-compiling --enable-native-code=x86-64
make
make install
(This is because the compiled code ABI changed, so old .com files
can't be run by new Schemes and vice versa.)
