<div dir="ltr">@Stephen I've honestly installed it on several devices now and can't remember for sure exactly how I installed it on the Pi (it's been a while). I *think* (and I'm running Raspbian btw) that I'd inititally simply done "sudo apt-get install racket" and not had any trouble. Though I think you're right that later I came to realize that had given me a version that wasn't the latest 6.1 version, but in this pong game I've written I'd used something that required 6.1, so I went ahead and downloaded from the racket site and built from source on the pi. In either case I don't recall having much trouble. If you do try and do have trouble, maybe post again and I can try a little harder to retrace my steps. <br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Feb 22, 2015 at 7:20 AM, Stephen De Gabrielle <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:spdegabrielle@gmail.com" target="_blank">spdegabrielle@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">As much as racket compiling to Java bytecodes (Android/Dalvik or JVM) is tempting - look how many people are excited by Clojure- it is beyond my skill and available time. <br><br>I was referring to building Racket on ARM/RPi.
