Also, I am looking at the document 'Systems Programming with Racket'. It has
instructions for making a file "serve.rkt", which I have done, but Racket
cannot
find it, even if I specify the complete path. I have tried to understand the
documentation
on folders and files, but I am not succeeding.
Can you show what you're doing? It's very hard to tell what the true
cause of the problem is. Maybe what you're encountering is truly a
path problem. But maybe it's something else that you haven't
considered! Without knowing what you're doing, very few of us can say
anything for certain.
Are you trying to use Racket at the command line, or are you using DrRacket?
Please show the full, literal content of what you're trying, as well
as any error message you're encountering. This can be invaluable,
because there may be detail there that people here may be able to
elucidate.
There are images in the conversation as i make guesses but I will paste
it from DrRacket's
interactions window to here (serve.rkt is in a directory "C:\indexing"
which is in the PATH environment
variable):
(enter! "serve.rkt")
. . enter!: undefined;
cannot reference an identifier before its definition
