did you install the latest version of racket? there's an updated version since nicholas published his tutorial. i followed his instructions and everything worked fine.

I just upgraded to 5.3.3 but that didn't fix it. Still getting the same error.

I am wondering if there is a permissions problem. It sounds like mzscheme is trying to read as.scm but failing.

tried running it as sudo. No change. There are 23 characters in the first line of as.scm and I am getting the error message

read failed to read all 23 bytes from file mzscheme

Weird. Can you try running the main branch of anarki with just:

  $ racket -f as.scm
? We're trying to move away from legacy mzscheme. Let us know if the error persists.

In general, the instructions we've been steering newcomers toward are at https://sites.google.com/site/arclanguagewiki/getting-starte..., which we try to keep up-to-date. If that helps in this case.

(Once you resolve this issue I'd also recommend switching to the Nu branch described in the above link. It's a much more clean and modern implementation.)

When akkartik said "the Nu branch", he meant this:

https://github.com/Pauan/ar

I too recommend using it rather than vanilla Arc. It has many bug fixes and new features, yet is still backwards compatible.

racket -f as.scm works! moving forward ...
