Sorry I still don't get it. Here's what I've tried: - moved my application files to the user collects directory of my system. - made the proper dir/subdir structure - use only (require myapp/mod1) kind of requires
(It works ok) Now if I serialize some structures in a file, they still get absolute path names. Eg.: ((2) 5 ((#"/Users/etanter/Library/Racket/5.1/collects/bibdcc/main.rkt" . deserialize-info:order-v0) I must be missing something. Any idea?
