To answer Mathew Flatt's question: "Do you expect 3" (paths) "because you have an environment variable set, or something like that? " Answer: Yes. I can run a shell file that contains: #! /bin/bash export PLTCOLLECTS="/home/don/.plt-scheme/4.2.1/collects:"
Many of my programs are accessible from that path. ----------- Sounds like ideally I should begin creating my own pkg(s) that are outside a collection path, and link it by specifying a current-library-collection-links parameter. In the mean time I'd like to add the collection path. ----------- Currently, When I open DrRacket and run: (current-library-collection-paths) it returns: '(#<path:/home/don/.plt-scheme/4.2.1/collects> #<path:/home/don/.racket/8.1/collects> #<path:/home/don/racket/collects/>) which is correct and no problems, however when I click on a .ss file in the file-manager, the file is opened in drracket v.8.1 but (current-library-collection-paths) returns only: '(#<path:/home/don/.racket/8.1/collects> #<path:/home/don/racket/collects/>) The problem seems to be that the file-manager needs to set PLTCOLLECTS="/home/don/.plt-scheme/4.2.1/collects: to set the env. variable so that drracket can find #<path:/home/don/.plt-scheme/4.2.1/collects>. Is there a more convenient method to achieve what I am after by making some configuration in racket rather than in my file-manager?
