Thanks for replying.
Problem still persist , even after running raco setup .
I did not compiled the racket from the source, I downloaded the binary package.

When I run ~/racket/bin/racket filename.rkt in console , it runs fine
, no problem there,
but in DrRacket it show the same error :
compile: access from an uncertified context to unexported variable
from module: "/home/vvv/racket/collects/racket/contract/private/base.rkt"
in: apply-contract

I am running ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala , if that help somehow.
