I've been trying to set up Racket for evaluation purposes and due to being on CentOS with no root privileges, I've chosen the Racket minimal distribution.
I was able to compile it from source and run it and wanted to manually install xrepl for an improved interpreter experience. I found the package on GitHub and downloaded it. However, I've not been able to install it using raco. I was advised to call "raco pkg install --link <path_to_package>", however that fails with: call-with-file-lock/timeout: contract violation expected: (>=/c 0.0) given: -1202590842.0 context...: /home/user/Applications/Racket/share/racket/collects/racket/file.rkt:298:0: call-with-file-lock/timeout35 /home/user/Applications/Racket/share/racket/collects/pkg/main.rkt:167:14 (submod /home/user/Applications/Racket/share/racket/collects/pkg/main.rkt main): [running body] /home/user/Applications/Racket/share/racket/collects/pkg/raco.rkt: [traversing imports] /home/user/Applications/Racket/share/racket/collects/raco/raco.rkt: [running body] /home/user/Applications/Racket/share/racket/collects/raco/main.rkt: [running body] I'm on CentOS 5.10, no root privileges and we use the NFS protocol (I suspect it's possibly related to that). Any call involving 'install' also fails in a similar fashion. Interestingly, when I was trying to compile the full version, I was occasionally running into the same problem and was having to restart the compile as it was taking a really long time. In the end I got frustrated and went for the minimal distribution. I've never had that problem compiling anything else before (vim being a recent example).
