Hi All,

In an attempt to make the Racket package `pyffi` easier to configure, I added a `raco` command,  
so users can write `raco pyffi configure` to start a configuration tool.

Now, I have tested this on my own machine and on Github Actions, but after putting `pyffi` on the package server, I have become aware of a configuration problem (for at least macOS users).

The error report is:

```scheme
~ raco pyffi configure
open-input-file: cannot open module file
module path: pyffi/configure-pyffi
path: /Users/racketlover/Library/Racket/8.2/pkgs/pyffi/configure-pyffi.rkt
system error: no such file or directory; rkt_err=3

```

The problem is that the file `configure-pyffi.rkt` is in `pyffi/pyffi-lib/pyffi/configure-pyffi.rkt`.  
Now the `info.rkt` [1] file in the same folder contains:

```scheme
(define raco-commands
  (list (list "pyffi" 'pyffi/configure-pyffi "configure pyffi" #f)))

```

The commands that work on Github Actions [2] are:

```scheme
raco pkg install --scope installation pyffi-lib
raco pyffi configure

```

An attept of changing the path made the build on Github Action fail.

Should the file `configure-pyffi.rkt` be moved? If so where to?

The problem is that you've set the wrong path on the package server. You probably wanted to create a `pyffi` package which points to [pyffi/pyffi at main · soegaard/pyffi · GitHub](https://github.com/soegaard/pyffi/tree/main/pyffi) and a `pyffi-lib` package which points to [pyffi/pyffi-lib at main · soegaard/pyffi · GitHub](https://github.com/soegaard/pyffi/tree/main/pyffi-lib) etc. You can see eg the asn1 packages as an example: [asn1-lib](https://pkgs.racket-lang.org/package/asn1-lib)

Thanks. I am glad, I asked. I hadn't even considered the mistake was on the package server.
