Find-library finds geiser-syntax.el in /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/
and opens it. When I evaluate it with eval-buffer and switch to the
source code buffer (after run-geiser), there is no change. Emacs
continues to crank "Autodoc not available (Symbol's function definition
is void: geiser-syntax--pop-to-top)" whenever I move the cursor over a
function like 'display' in (display "hello world").

But there is another hint that I've overlooked before: Right after
opening a scheme file, there is a short-lived message "File mode
specification error: (void-function geiser-syntax--simple-keywords)"

Does that help with troubleshooting? Maybe it has to do with the fact
that Melpa installs it site-wide?

I'd really like to get this working.

Best,

Erich
