[Fluxus] plt-zscheme or Racket?

[Carlos Alegria]

Hi Kassen,

Thanks a lot for your answer. I read about using plt for compilation on the
README file I found on the source tarball I downloaded from the link
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/fluxus.git/snapshot/fluxus-0.17rc5.tar.gz
that can be found on the fluxus page
(http://www.pawfal.org/fluxus/packages/).

Will try to compile directly from the git repo (not using the AUR package)
then, hope it works on 64 bits.

Thanks again!!

I don't know about 64 bit but Fluxus should work on Arch just fine. At least
I hope so as I'm strongly considering Arch for my next Linux install :-)

If the docs say PLT then some bit of the docs somehow got out of date; the
latest Racket, build from source with the parameters you gave should work
with Fluxus from Git. That sjould particularly give you the shared libraries
with the right type of garbage collection. 

It'd be nice if you could say where you found the reference to PLT; that
reference should probably be corrected.

Good luck and shout if you run into more issues, Kas.
