Thanks. The old problem doesn't exist any more, but there's a new one: If I
execute a
`(require (lib ...))'-statement in the new namespace, my program can't find
the collection paths.

So I moved the `collects' directory (of DrScheme) to my program's path and
tried again. Now the namespace is trying to load "class.ss", but it can't
find the subdirectory `private' of `mzlib' (where it searchs for
"class-sneaky.ss"), because it looks for it in my program's directory. The
error:

    current-load-relative-directory: [...] directory does not exist: "<my
program's path>/private"

It searches at the wrong location, you see.

Could you help me again?
