Note to self: I should have deleted the .dylib files in this step.

After trying with a 64bit compilation of racket I found that my github 
connection was very erratic today and wget/curl stalled near the end of 
the file (curl exited with an error after some time). I looks like the 
download script is not detecting prematurely closed HTTP connections 
(since there were no errors reported during the make).

After downloading everything on another server and copying to the lib/ 
directory everything works.
