The error seems to indicate that somehow geiser's elisp code is not
fully loaded.  Do you have any specific configuration in your init files
(.emacs or similar)?  The function geiser-syntax--pop-to-top is defined
in geiser-syntax: `M-x find-library RET geiser-syntax' should find it if
it's loaded.  Does it?  If it doesn't, a quick experiment is to open
geiser-syntax.el in geiser's directory, do an M-x eval-buffer and see if
that solves the problem.

Cheers,
jao
