Ah, ok. I'm not sure why 32-bit `ppc` hasn't been affected, but maybe it's because you're creating a Unix-style installation, and we've just never done that for `ppc` before?

I think the relevant `redComponent` is here: https://github.com/racket/gui/blob/master/gui-lib/mred/private/wx/cocoa/procs.rkt#L202 Maybe the `(version-10.6-or-later?)` should be `(version-10.7-or-later?)`. I'm pretty sure I've run DrRacket on 10.7 in the last year or two, and my...

No, not yet. I tried the PPC build on an Intel 10.6 installation (via Rosetta), and text renders ok that way. I am in the process of getting a PPC...

I bet the font problem is related to Cairo or Pango and either something that we patched or something that broke since the versions that we built for PPC long...

> For most purposes 10.6.8 ppc (native one) is at least on par with Rosetta, but here we have the reverse. To clarify, I think the Rosetta detour was misleading....

Racket normally looks for libraries first in its own `lib` directory (which is something like `${prefix}/lib/racket`) and then in system places. The portfile configures sets `lib-search-dirs` to configure `racket` to...

I agree about adding instructions to use `sh racket-8.0-x86_64-linux-cs.sh` on the download page, and I've added that. I also like the idea idea about having a page that package authors/documentation...

Apparently, adding a menu item to set the command line on Mac OS is a good idea, because it's already there! It's "Configure Command Line for Racket..." in the "Help"...

@Metaxal Good point about `sudo`. I'll add that. Robby is making the "Configure Command Line for Racket..." menu item work in DrRacket on Windows. Adding an option to the installer...

@jackfirth I thought about that too. On Windows, that seems like a fine idea, except that the path is going to have a version number in it, so DrRacket may...
