[racket] Installing on Ubuntu, "command not found"

You might try installing it from the PPA that Jon Rafkind set up:

I saw something similar and the problem was that I was running 64-bit
Ubuntu and the script installs 32-bit binaries, so I needed to install
the 32-bit compatibility libraries. I think they're called
lib-32-something, but can't remember exactly.
