No -- the ".sh" file is (in this case and in general) a file that should be fed to a shell, so you should run it simply as sh the-file.sh or you can just make it executable and run that: chmod +x the-file.sh ./the-file.sh (You've probably seen the second entry at http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/sh, which is misleading.) Note that there is a problem with the sh installers for 5.0, if you answer "no" to the first question (about a "unix-style distribution") then you won't have any problem. (This will create a single directory with the racket installation -- and it's more convenient in many cases, since you can move that directory anywhere you want.) -- ((lambda (x) (x x)) (lambda (x) (x x))) Eli Barzilay: http://barzilay.org/ Maze is Life! _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/users
