Geiser: unbound identifier in module

Question

I am attempting to install Geiser (for Racket) on Ubuntu.

I have run:

sudo apt-get install geiser

and have appended to my .emacs file the line:

(load-file "~/lisp/geiser/elisp/geiser.el") (I double checked the path.)

I restart Emacs, use M-x run-geiser and received the following error:

compile: unbound identifier in module in: ~a at modules.rkt:99:60

I attempted to build from source but I after running

sudo make install within the directory, I receive the error that make install is not a target. (I retrieved the source via Git).

If I run ./autogen.sh to generate the target, I receive: autoreconf: not found.

Am I missing a step or doing something incorrectly?

Answer 1

In order to run ./autogen.sh I needed the package dh-autogen.

In order to run make install I needed the package texinfo.

Finally, in order to make run-geiser work I needed to place

(require 'geiser-install)

in my .emacs file (as per the site's instructions).

So it was just two missing packages.
