[racket] Racket 6.0 does not work
Junia, which GNU/Linux distribution and version are you using? Some
version of Conectiva?
Distributing compiled software for all the GNU/Linux distributions is
more complicated than it is for a few versions of Windows and Mac OS X.
Often, people using some GNU/Linux distribution have good luck, and can
just use one of the pre-compiled packages on "racket-lang.org", or a
package that was made separately by a volunteer for a distribution such
as Ubuntu. But sometimes people have a GNU/Linux distribution version
for which none of the pre-compiled packages work, and they have to
compile from source themselves, or find someone to make a package.
Perhaps the quickest solution is for a GNU/Linux-savvy student or staff
at your university to make a pre-compiled package of Racket for the
distribution that you use, and everyone else at your university could
just use that package? (Compiling Racket is actually very easy for
someone who is familiar with compiling modern Unix software.)
