Just curious, are you using features not present in the SICP package 
available on PLaneT?
(I think they share most of the code)

The following will display Einstein (use the module langauge).

#lang scheme
(require (planet "sicp.ss" ("soegaard" "sicp.plt" 2 0)))
(paint (load-painter "einstein"))

The einstein painter happens to be builtin, it was defined like
this (more or less).

(define einstein (load-painter "einstein.gif"))

See the documentation here:
