I must have done some mistake then. I admit that I didnt see akkartik's link before posting that reply. I think my downloaded files are older than October- the directory has a timestamp from October and the ac.scm file has a timestamp from August 2009. The diff is here: http://pastebin.com/BLp6p69v

Yes, I would like to use something that works, and something that is as latest as possible :) I seem to be using Racket (in the form of plt-scheme) and it seems to work for an older version of arc. The point of my question was if I needed to do something to keep up with the changes made in Arc.

Thanks a lot for your reply :)

Looks like you originally had a version from somewhere between https://github.com/nex3/arc/commit/3201b34f3ed89e6305b0d9906... (October 14, 2010) and https://github.com/nex3/arc/commit/e05b3ef2aa9e4d298c7703a3b... (December 29, 2010). So "October" may be right! :-p

Then making sure Racket is up-to-date is the answer you're looking for, as you already know. :-p Have you been successful running the latest Anarki on your Racket install yet? What do "racket --version" and "mzscheme --version" say now?

Hi, Thanks a lot to your earlier comment, about running "racket -f as.scm"- I found out that racket couldnt be located by the system. Something must be unclear with the description of Ubuntu/Debian packages- I got an impression that "plt-scheme" contained racket. I manually installed racket by downloading from here: http://racket-lang.org/download/ .

Now it works :) Thanks again !

Great. racket is the new PLT scheme. So it provides plt-scheme, but the opposite is not true.
