Thanks to all people who gave suggestions. Due to company policy, I cannot easily update system commands such as libtool.. The Sun machine does not even have libcairo.so for the GUI to work --- Luckily, the linux machines have all the 'right' tools and libs. The plan is to have racket repl servers running on a cluster of machines. And one racket repl on one master machine taking data from those machines and controlling some job's progress.
In any case, on the Sun machine, I removed the '--enable-shared' and the 'make' step went through. After 'make install', I got an workable 'racket', if I don't use GUI. I can now start some real work.
