Ah, but where have you installed them?

I take it, then, that you're on a unix.  On OS X for example, the relevant bin/ directory is located in the same directory as DrRacket.app, and so that's the directory (.../Racket\ v5.3.6/bin) that has to be (explicitly) added to your path.  I don't know the layout of the various Linux distributions, but I imagine there's a broadly similar layout there.

Best wishes,

Norman
