I was using DrRacket for a class using PLAI on Ubuntu 11.10 with some issues before the complete failure in 12.04 Beta 2.<div>It was very slow when it came to scrolling with my trackpoint, but moving aroung with the keyboard only or with an external mouse with a wheel moved slowly, but didn't freeze DrRacket for many seconds and then move a whole lot like it did with the trackpoint. I'm not sure if that was some kind a precursor to the trouble I am having now. I believe some of that problem came about because of Ubuntu's new Unity interface.</div>
<div><br></div><div>When I installed changed to the 12.04 Beta 2 of Ubuntu, I tried to install the DrRacket version available in the Ubuntu Software Center that was working on 11.10. It installed, but then would not run. I then tried toi install the follwing versions from the website: debian_squeeze x86_64, fedora 14 x86_64, ubuntu karmic i386. Those did not work either. Finally, I resorted to compiling the Unix source myself, which also failed.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I don't know if you all can help me with this or if this is something I need to contact Canonical about, but any suggestions are very welcome.</div><div><br></div><div>I know this might be because I am using a Beta version, but since the full version comes out in 18 days I had hoped that it would still be fairly stable. For the most part, it is quite stable.</div>
<div>I would have waited until the final release came out before emailing you all about this, but since I need it for class, I decided to send this now.</div><div><br><div>The error would occur whenever I tried to run drracket in the terminal.</div>
<div>After every installation (I did uninstall the each previous attempt before trying again with a different version) I would do this:</div><div><br></div><div><div>jack@jack-ThinkPad-W520:~$ drracket</div><div><br></div>
<div>The result was always:</div><div><br></div><div>ffi-lib: couldn't open "libjpeg.so.62" (libjpeg.so.62: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)</div><div><br></div><div> === context ===</div>

<div>I can use another editor (GVim, nano, Vi, Emacs) or the like, but right now, I really don't want to learn a new editor in the midst of a class.</div><div><br></div><div>I do not, in any manner, intend to accuse anyone of anything in this e-mail; I just need help.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Any and all help, again, would be greatly appreciated.</div>
