Hi Everyone,

Has anyone been able to get racket to run on Centos 5? My workstation at work is running Centos 5.5, I'm pondering to use racket for some of the scripting job, but after installed it, it gives following error while launching DrRacket:

ffi-obj: couldn't get "cairo_clip_extents" from "libcairo.so.2" (/usr/lib64/libcairo.so.2: undefined symbol: cairo_clip_extents)

 === context ===

Anyone has any suggestions?
