IDK though, Debian stable is very popular. I would suggest somebody should build a package for it and upload it to <a href="http://racket-lang.org">racket-lang.org</a> On Tuesday, March 4, 2014, Matthew Flatt <<a href="javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','mflatt@cs.utah.edu');" target="_blank">mflatt@cs.utah.edu</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> At Mon, 3 Mar 2014 23:19:47 -0800, John Clements wrote: > I’d like to run racket 6 on a 64-bit Debian 7 VPS (that I have with linode). > It appears to me that our pre-built binaries rely on libc 2.14, and that the > current stable Debian (I know, I know) comes with libc 2.13.

CPUS=1 is probably my friend here. Building some source is probably not so bad if you use the "source + built packages" distribution. Then, you're justing building the C core, and all the Racket code and documentation is pre-built. For a smaller install, try the Minimal Racket "source + built packages" distribution, then install the packages that you need. Again, the packages should install in built form, so installation should be quick. ____________________ Racket Users list: <a href="http://lists.racket-lang.org/users" target="_blank">http://lists.racket-lang.org/users</a> </blockquote>
