Hmm.
Alright, replacing the calls to slideshow with calls directly to pict, as
well as commenting out the racket/gui/base calls successfully gets the code
to run without X.
However, something about how it converts the picts for web isn't working,
so instead of a neat little circle, for instance, I get "(pict '(prog
#<procedure:... etc." instead.
I suspect this is probably something to do with a difference in behavior in
how images are converted by the server, which does a convertible? test and
then runs:
(run-code ev `(bytes-append #"data:image/png;base64,"
(base64-encode (convert ,res 'png-bytes) #"")))
At an idiot's guess, something is different about how pict is making the
images, so convertible? is #f and the code just prints the (pict '(prog...
stuff.
I've set up a fork here: https://github.com/jarcane/try-racket
I'm still working on getting the DNS set properly though, so no
try-racket.org yet; the servlet is public at http://104.131.18.192:8000/
but I haven't figured out how to get try-racket.org to go there yet.
