You can now get a nightly build of racket through the Ubuntu PPA system. https://launchpad.net/~plt/+archive/racket-nightly
Here are the quick instructions to set it up $ sudo apt-get install python-software-properties $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:plt/racket-nightly $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install racket I'm not quite sure what will happen if you have both the racket ppa and the racket-nightly ppa but probably you shouldn't try it :p. This setup is quite new (as of this week) so let me know if anything doesn't work. ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
