Re: [racket-dev] cairo_recording_surface_create
The relevant message may have been visible in the logs (which you can see via Console.app) just in case you're in a situation where you can't easily switch to the cmdline DrRacket.

Then I get to see that the error message, that tells me that that I forgot to run make (well it says "bytecode file needs re-compile"). And indeed I did forget to run make. After running make, everything works as expected. For the future I will use bin/drracket rather than open DrRacket.app. Thanks. /Jens Axel _ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev
