A great tip! I was able to compile Racket on ami-2a1fec43 (aka "official" Amazon Linux (~= CentOS 32 bit)).
Still ran into the same issue as before: [ec2-user@ip-10-88-214-159 ~]$ /usr/local/plt/bin/racket -t test-model-3.rkt ffi-lib: couldn't open "libsqlite3.so" (libsqlite3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) === context === /home/ec2-user/.racket/planet/300/5.1/cache/jaymccarthy/sqlite.plt/4/6/sqlite-ffi.ss: [running body] /home/ec2-user/.racket/planet/300/5.1/cache/jaymccarthy/sqlite.plt/4/6/sqlite.rkt: [traversing imports] /home/ec2-user/.racket/planet/300/5.1/cache/jaymccarthy/sqlite.plt/4/6/main.rkt: [traversing imports] /home/ec2-user/model-3.rkt: [traversing imports] /home/ec2-user/test-model-3.rkt: [traversing imports] So I tried the following: $ sudo find / -name 'libsqlite3*' /usr/lib/libsqlite3.so.0 /usr/lib/libsqlite3.so.0.8.6 $ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libsqlite3.so.0 /usr/lib/libsqlite3.so $/usr/local/plt/bin/racket -t test-model-3.rktTitle:First Post Body:This is my first post Title:Second Post Body:This is another post YES, it works!
