After manually patching collects/redex/private/dot.rkt and running raco
make dot.rkt, the error message disappeared.
However I couldn't figure out what 'fix layout' was supposed to do (I was
trying to use it just because I am a curious person).

Apparently, no matter which option I choose from dot, neato, neato - hier
and neato - ipsep, clicking on Fix Layout produces no visible outcome.
I thought it would rearrange the graph... but even after manually moving
things around, clicking the button has no visible effect.

It was also strange to me that the boxes with reductions were not
read-only, so I could freely edit (remove/change/add) the contents.
