I recently upgraded my system, which also upgraded racket from version 8.18 to 9.2. Now I want to run my project, which requires recompiling, but it doesn't seem to find raylib.

When running `raco setup raylib`, I get this error:

```scheme
collection-path: collection not found
  collection: "raylib"

```

I vaguely remember that this simply worked the last time.

I've also tried `raco setup --clean`, which also produces an error:

```scheme
delete-file: cannot delete file
  path: /usr/share/racket/collects/info-domain/compiled/cache.rktd
  system error: Permission denied; errno=13

```

Not sure if this is even related. So, how can I get raylib to work again?

Hmm... in general, different versions of Racket don't share packages; this can be useful, if you're trying to run different versions with different setups, but it sounds like that's not what you want. Does `raco pkg migrate` do what you want? In particular, perhaps `raco pkg migrate 8.18` would do the trick?

Alternatively, and more simply, it might be enough just to install the `raylib` library, using `raco pkg install raylib`.

(In case this wasn't obvious: `raco setup` does not install new packages, and the error you're getting can simply be read as "there doesn't seem to be anything called `raylib` installed in this version of Racket.")
