[racket] Racket on Centos 5

Thanks a lot for your reply! Unfortunately, continuing the same procedure and ending up having made unavailable the following functions:

in cairo.rkt:

cairo_clip_extents
cairo_pattern_get_color_stop_count 
cairo_pattern_get_color_stop_rgba 
cairo_pattern_get_rgba 
cairo_pattern_get_surface (
cairo_pattern_get_linear_points
cairo_pattern_get_radial_circles 

in pango.rkt:

pango_layout_iter_get_run_readonly 
pango_language_get_default
pango_layout_get_unknown_glyphs_count

drracket tries to start, but the pango stuff seems to be really needed (see detailed stack trace below).
So I assume that for drracket there's nothing to be done, is it? 
The one executable I got to start without errors (that is to say, I tried mred too, it started but with errors) was mred-text - would it be possible to work with this one (I didn't even know it existed before...) if one doesn't need any graphics?

Thanks again,
Sigrid
