Error when I try to make clone of HN in Windows 7: main: not defined

Question

I have downloaded Arc 3.1 and Racket in my Windows 7 machine, and solved many errors while proceeding. But still when I run mzscheme -f as.scm it never returns to the prompt (as if there was an infinite loop). When I use mzscheme -m -f as.scm, it shows

main: not defined or required into the top-level environment

and localhost:8080 comes out blank.

Have you already looked at Anarki? Supposed to be actively developed: https://github.com/nex3/arc — dyoo, Mar 09 '12 at 03:19

The problem is that Arc uses an old version of Racket. The page http://arclanguage.org/install says to use version 372 of MzScheme.

You can download version 372 here: http://download.plt-scheme.org/all-versions.html

You can run Arc 3.1 on top of Racket; you no longer need mzscheme. You can start Arc up with racket -f as.scm.

You can also run the prompt without the "-m" option.

mzscheme -f as.scm

There is a little bit more info on the arclanguage wiki.
