Gabor, Thanks for elaborating :). Bypassing planet, and using `(require (file ...)) ` works fine.
One thing I've noticed is that the (file ...) form only accepts a string, and not another expr which evaluates to a string. Eg: this doesn't work: (require (file (string-append "/A/B/C/" "file.ss"))) Strange ... (for me, at least) Thanks again! -- Regards, Imran Rafique (skype: imran_rafique) On 28 March 2011 07:02, gabor papp <[email protected]> wrote: > hi Imran, > >> Could you elaborate a little? > > i used the mysql package, so it might be different in your case. i > suggest that you go to the planet page of the module and download the > source manually: > http://planet.racket-lang.org/package-source/untyped/net-repl.plt/1/0/ > save the files into a folder, called for example 'netrepl'. > then put your main file in the folder where the 'netrepl' directory > resides. now in your file you can use > (require (file "netrepl/net-repl.ss")) > > try this from racket first, then vim. > > the problem is that modules usually require other planet libraries, so > you need to do this iteratively. as i see net-repl requires some files > from the unlib module, that you will need to download as well. it is > also required that you modify the module source where it uses (require > (planet ... forms. > > if you are done with this, and all the files are saved locally, it > should work from racket. if it still does not work from vim, you need to > copy the compiled files from the cache as i described in my previous > mail to a folder called 'compiled'. for example, the mysql module has > three files: format.ss, info.ss, main.ss. so i put the compiled files > format_ss.zo. info_ss.zo, main_ss.zo in a folder 'compiled' under the > 'mysql' folder. i'm using osx where the racket cache folder is in > ~/Library/Racket/<racket version>/cache, probably it's something similar > in other operating systems. > > one more thing, which is important. when you copy the .zo files, use 'cp > -p', which preserves file times. otherwise the embedded racket in vim > might try to recompile the source files, which will fail. > > i hope it helps. > > best, > gabor > _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/users
