hi danny!
i did the
raco make
and the .dep and .zo files appeared in the compiled directory.
then i ran the program both as
racket PROG.rkt
./PROG.rkt
understandably no detectable difference between the above two.
however, both were considerably slower than using
(require db/base db/sqlite3)
as neil had suggested.
so i assume that things did compile ok.
(one of my programs is slow even using neil's suggestion, but i imagine
it's because i've coded it poorly - so i'll re-examine it further.)
