    Install Racket?

    Golly, wouldn't it be great if everything worked the way it's supposed to?

    I just loaded Racket (Dr. Racket) from the .sh for Debian Squeeze. Although it says it installed OK, when I tried to run it, I got an exec error. Has anyone else had a problem or maybe a fix?

    I'm running Knoppix on a Gateway LT4010u with an Atom N2600. I've tried other Linux distros on this system and Knoppix has been the best in performance and ease...until I tried to run Racket.

    Thanks, Mike

    Hello Mike,

    you forgot to tell us which Knoppix version you used.

    Have you already tried the package(s) from the Debian repository?

    Sorry- I am running 7.4. I just assumed that would be obvious from a new installation, but considering that I probably have 12 or 13 older versions in my CD cart I should have been more specific.

    Now it's funny you should mention the repositories....
    Earlier this evening I installed lots of LISP-related packages, both from the command line apt-get and from synaptic package manager. For about an hour now, all installations attempts have been met with failure. The error being "size mismatch." Since this only happened when I started to install Scheme-related packages I have no way of telling whether the problem is upstream or where.

    BTW, the "exec format error" is on line 96 of the drracket script, but I couldn't determine the source of the problem so I opted to remove the whole /usr/racket directory and try to install from the repositories.

    I'm a little under the gun timewise, and I really didn't expect this many problems. I may have to postpone the Scheme project for a week or so, but if the repositories don't work I will need to fix the .sh installation.

    Thanks for responding,
    Mike

    Ok, it may have been a network problem, or apt may have glitched. I rebooted and re-connected and racket installed fine from the repositories through synaptic. It looks like guile is also going to be successful.

    While I was having the problem I noticed that apt didn't recognize -f or --fix-missing options. This is what made me wonder if apt glitched.

    Thank you all for your help. One last question: How do I mark this problem SOLVED?

    Mike
