Bug Description

There does not exist a 64-bit version of mit-scheme. Would not mit-scheme-c (portable) fix this serious lack? (http://www.gnu.org/software/mit-scheme/liarc-build.html)

I work for a college, and I have two labs I need to deploy mit-scheme into, but they are all 64-bit systems. This is in preparation to introduce selected staff/students to the MIT LISP/SCHEME book and video lectures, and I am trying to be as true to the material as reasonably possible.

Thanks!

"hillma" pointed out on #ubuntu-devel IRC that there's an amd64 version of mit-scheme in Debian now, so I bootstrapped it for Ubuntu vivid based on that. If you need it for older releases of Ubuntu, the binary package from the build I just did is downloadable from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mit-scheme/9.1.1-5/+build/6558575 and its dependencies are satisfiable back as far as Ubuntu 12.04, so you should be able to install it by hand using "dpkg -i" or similar.
