[plt-scheme] SLaTeX: getting it to work

Ah great, thanks a lot for the quick replies! :-) On my home computer it 
does succeed in running LaTeX but hangs immediately on \begin{document}, 
which I think is quite odd....

---------------------------------------
! Undefined control sequence.
\\  ->\let \reserved at e
                       \relax \let \reserved at f \relax \@ifstar {\let 
\reserv...
l.14 \begin
           {document}
---------------------------------------

Any ideas what might be the problem here?

I hope my questions don't seem too 'basic'. But I think that, if I fail 
at getting this to work, while being an experienced LaTeX user and 
Schemer, maybe the SLaTeX documentation could be beefed up a bit... just 
a kind suggestion. :-)

BTW here I'm just trying to get the example from
http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/dorai/slatex/slatxdoc-Z-H-1.html
to work; nothing fancy...
