Here is a working solution, where I have replaced the hero with a picture I had on my hard disk:
#lang racket (require 2htdp/universe) (require 2htdp/image) (require racket/gui/base) (require racket/runtime-path) (define-runtime-path here ".") (define cauliflower (make-object image-snip% (make-object bitmap% (build-path here "programming/dct/cauliflower.jpg")))) The root of the problem is that bitmap in 2htdp/image only allows you to search in a few restricted paths. This seems a pretty silly restriction. To work around it we had to implement what bitmap does ourselves. Luckily this isn't hard.
