Huh, actually, it *does* fail to install! I thought I had picked the wrong version (switching computers too many times...) but I had not. It's a 64bits processor on a 32bits Ubuntu, and the installation fails with the above message.
If I choose a non-Unix-style installation, the installation works, but launching DrRacket fails with the same error: % /usr/racket-5.3.4.11/bin/drracket /usr/racket-5.3.4.11/bin/gracket: 1: /usr/racket-5.3.4.11/bin/gracket: ELF : not found /usr/racket-5.3.4.11/bin/gracket: 7: /usr/racket-5.3.4.11/bin/gracket: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string This does not occur with 5.3.4.10 Any hint?
