Install failing on Ubuntu 24.04 #3

dzj commented 2026年01月26日 13:18:29 +01:00

When I cut and paste the link in on web page fails, asking for racket.

So now going to the source to install racket, - source install instructions also could be improved, for instance maybe some flag that accepts dependencies etc.

is this bit necessary if later there is "raco pkg install" --->
raco pkg install spindle ---> maybe state the obvious git clone etc etc here...
Install hence
cd ~/Code/hence <-- this directory will be different for user - cd into the cloned git dir
raco pkg install

Build and install to PATH
make install
< --- ok user maybe doesn't want to install to PATH they just want the binary in subdirectory (because installing to PATH might alter how they got stuff on their filesystem ) so I went for just the "make" (without install) it built a binary in the dir, ok so exmaple ./hence <-- displays help . Ok so lets go for the example "./hence llm"

user-droid@enron:~/hence$ hence llm
hence: failed to start /home/user-droid/.local/bin/../lib/plt/racketcs-8.16 (No such file or directory)

With source dependencies installed, and then beginning make started - it seems to assume I have something in a .local directory? (that's after installing racket and then running make) ok what ever

make install
hence llm

user-droid@enron:~/hence$ hence llm
hence: failed to start /home/user-droid/.local/bin/../lib/plt/racketcs-8.16 (No such file or directory)

same error

And IIRC I think this maybe like what i saw when I just ran the install on the site the first time (which why went looking through the source)

It all needs to be cleaned and refactored so don't lose someones attention when trying to download and run the binary or the source.

Thanks for the ticket!

This is fixed in 0.3.4 onwards. Previous versions were not correctly packaging racket libraries.

Confired installing on;
Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS

Readme and website also updated.
