[racket] frustrated with error message

Erwin,

Just in case you didn't see it in the other thread, Thomas Chust created a
portable package for Racket. One easy solution is to download and use the
latest version from:

https://bitbucket.org/chust/racket-portable/downloads

That will not just solve the current problems, but also bring the
enhacements of the newer versions.
