Unfortunately, there's a mismatch between the way GitHub packages a ".zip" and the way `raco pkg install` uses it. The GitHub-generated ".zip" file has an extra directory layer relative to the layout that `raco pkg install` expects. Specifically, "master.zip" has a "racket-bitsyntax-master" directory that holds everything else, while you really wanted `raco pkg` to see the "everything else". You can see the extra layer in the output from `raco pkg`: > Here's a transcript of the commands I'm trying: > > $ wget https://github.com/tonyg/racket-bitsyntax/archive/master.zip > $ raco pkg install -n bitsyntax master.zip > raco setup: version: 6.0.1.8 [3m] > [...] > raco setup: 1 making: > <pkgs>/bitsyntax/racket-bitsyntax-master/bitsyntax (bitsyntax) ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
