[plt-scheme] Re: trouble installing plt v370 on ubuntu

What happened when i ran mred directly is that nothing happened! I
don't think there exists any problem with permission because i have
tried sudo and even as the root. Both failed.Why do you provide a
package? Or any one responsible for updating the package provided by
the Ubuntu community.I installed from the package days ago but it is
version 352, out of date.
