In what way does it not work?

That surprises me. I would expect scheme and scheme/base to have the 
same require error. Both of them use the same new require syntax (eg, 
'prefix-in' instead of 'prefix').

The scheme and scheme/base languages have built-in support for keywords, 
so unless you're doing something really fancy you can drop (lib "kw.ss") 
and use the new syntax. Go to http://docs.plt-scheme.org/guide/ and read 
4.3 through 4.5.
