[racket] using packages from Planet

[murat demirtas]

Hello friends,

first of all sorry for my trivial questions, but all the stuff is pretty new to me.

I have download today the package with the line(in DrRacket 5.3):
(require (planet orseau/mred-designer:3:8))
Questions:
1):Is this designer the default designer to use for rapid gui development?
2):Do I have to type always the line :
(require (planet orseau/mred-designer:3:8)) to start the designer?
3):When I eval the line to start the Designer from MzCOM I get an error:
Racket error: default-module-name-resolver: the kernel's resolver works only on `quote' forms given: '(lib "planet/resolver.rkt").

Yours,

I don't know of many others, though you can also check the branch 2 of MrEd Designer, which is still developed by Peter Ivanyi: http://hexahedron.hu/personal/peteri/mreddesigner/
I think he is in the process of updating it, though I'm not sure.
 

2):Do I have to type always the line :

You can also call it from  the command line with:
racket -p orseau/mred-designer:3:8
 

3):When I eval the line to start the Designer from MzCOM I get an error:
Racket error: default-module-name-resolver: the kernel's resolver works only on `quote' forms given: '(lib "planet/resolver.rkt").

For that I have no idea, I don't know what MzCOM is or does, but I think this error is not specific to mred-designer (but I may be wrong).

Cheers,
Laurent
