Re: [racket-users] raco pkg for a one-directory, moveable installation
Thanks, that fixed it - I had set up a script to do this a while ago but lost it, and forgot that this was in there.

[racket-users] raco pkg for a one-directory, moveable installation
Hello all I'm trying to generate an installation that is self-contained, that I can move to another machine just by tar-untar or zip-unzip. The target machine may never be connected to the internet, so if I want to install packages I must follow this procedure. This command .\raco pkg install --scope-dir ../PKGS fails with this message: raco pkg install: cannot link a directory that overlaps with a collection path collection path: C:\sks\bin\rkt85\collects\ link path: C:\sks\bin\rkt85\ as package: rkt85 Any suggestions on how to proceed? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
