I don’t believe there are any prebuilt CentOS Racket distributions available, so I can’t help you there. I will say, however, that I recently built Racket from source for the first time, and I found it remarkably easy. I cloned the repo, ran make, and I was done.
Building from source can take some time, though, mostly since it needs to compile all the packages. You can download the Unix Source + built packages distribution from download.racket-lang.org <http://download.racket-lang.org/>, though, which contains the package bytecode pre-compiled. The bytecode is platform-independent, so you’ll only have to build the core, not the packages. Someone else might be more knowledgable in that area than I am, but I’m guessing that’s the best you’re going to get unless there’s a CentOS distribution I’m not aware of. > On Jan 16, 2015, at 21:45, George Neuner <gneun...@comcast.net> wrote: > > > Hi all, > > I am looking at a possible deployment on a Centos based cloud VM and I won't > have a compiler available to build Racket locally.
