We need a bit more information to help you because Racket provides precisely
the information that you're looking for in DrRacket. Take this program:
#lang racket
(sin
(cos
(tan
(abs
(add1
(sub1
((list 1 2 3))))))))
Run it and you get

The first icon gives you access to the complete stack.
In a plain Racket replWelcome to Racket v5.90.0.11.
> (sin
(cos
(tan
(abs
(add1
(sub1
((list 1 2 3))))))))
application: not a procedure;
expected a procedure that can be applied to arguments
given: '(1 2 3)
arguments...: [none]
context...:
/Users/matthias/plt/racket/collects/racket/private/misc.rkt:87:7
So what language are you specifying and in what context are you running the
program?
