Probably - this is using the packages in the main PLT ubuntu launchpad ppa.

Right. > Is your code compiled `-fPIC' (while the Racket code isn't, I think)? It is indeed, as I'm building shared objects to load as racket modules. I'm not clear why this is a problem with 64bit and not with 32, but I am a little rusty on this stuff... cheers, dave ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
