@Stephen I've honestly installed it on several devices now and can't remember for sure exactly how I installed it on the Pi (it's been a while). I *think* (and I'm running Raspbian btw) that I'd inititally simply done "sudo apt-get install racket" and not had any trouble. Though I think you're right that later I came to realize that had given me a version that wasn't the latest 6.1 version, but in this pong game I've written I'd used something that required 6.1, so I went ahead and downloaded from the racket site and built from source on the pi. In either case I don't recall having much trouble. If you do try and do have trouble, maybe post again and I can try a little harder to retrace my steps.
