This appears to be a problem with DrRacket handling the prompt properly (I installed via File | Package Manager ... not via File | Install Package ... ). When I installed the package from the command line on OSX via: raco pkg install planet-neil-csv2 it worked fine. It now shows up in the DrRacket package manager, but I'm confused about one thing. The PlaneT Compatibility page: http://docs.racket-lang.org/pkg/PLaneT_Compatibility.html states: "Each file has been transliterated to use direct Racket-style requires rather than PLaneT-style requires. For example, if any file contains (planet jaymccarthy/opencl/module), then it is transliterated to jaymccarthy/opencl1/module." but I had to use (require (planet neil/csv:2:0)) in my file instead of (require neil/csv:2:0) which failed. I tried other variations to no avail. Is the form (require (planet neil/csv:2:0)) deprecated? What are the pros/cons between the two different require forms? By the way, I *really* liked the way the docs for neil/csv automatically showed up in the help desk html after installation. If Neil is on this list, are you planning on migrating to the new package repository? Thanks, Brian ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
