[racket] Loading or Requiring a Module

You should create a collection to hold your module:

http://docs.racket-lang.org/guide/module-basics.html#%28part._link-collection%29

If you create "myCollection" and put "myModule_rkt.so" in

 myCollection/compiled/native/x86_64/3m/

then you'll be able to import it from anywhere using

 (require myCollection/myModule)
