Hmm, I'll file this for future reference, but this:

ftw.  Apparently a 32/64 bit incompatibility is helpfully reported as
"command not found", which is impossible to search for, but once I had
the above details I found a few pages that gave more info; on their
recommendation I installed the following packages:

  lib32gcc1 lib32stdc++6 lib32asound2 lib32ncurses5 ia32-libs

(possibly not all required in the Racket case, but I installed them all
anyway).  Everything seems to be working now.
