Hi Junia. I am an OpenIndiana User, Racket is the most easiest (big) language to build in Solaris and its forks, and it works no difference from it in other operating systems. In OpenIndiana even guile I cannot build without pain. I was a vim+mzscheme user, I built it in MacOSX in which platform v

Junia, which GNU/Linux distribution and version are you using? Some version of Conectiva? Distributing compiled software for all the GNU/Linux distributions is more complicated than it is for a few versions of Windows and Mac OS X. Often, people using some GNU/Linux distribution have good lu

Could I chime in and suggest building with something like Debian stable which has older, but not too old, libraries? Things built on Debian stable should work on newer Linuxes. On Sun, Mar 9, 2014 at 7:39 PM, Matthias Felleisen wrote: > > On Mar 5, 2014, at 4:03 PM, Junia Magellan wrote: > > I w

Thanks for the report. We have completely revised our process for building and distributing Racket in version 6.0, and it appears that one of the hiccups in the new process may be that the Linux build ends up depending on a newer version of libc. I'm investigating. While I appreciate the problem r
