I just found when I type `raco install --auto xxx`, it says missing `xxx/yyy` in ```scheme /home/Library/Racket/8.3/collects /Applications/Racket v8.3/collects/ ``` but end up I found `xxx/yyy` is existed in ```scheme /home/Library/Racket/8.3/pkgs ``` and there has no `/home/Library/Racket/8.3/collects` in my system. ---

Can you post the full transcript of the failed command? I think the reference to collects may be a red herring here? ---

Sure, is `raco pkg install --auto turnstile-lib` ---

Sorry, I wasn't clear. By "transcript" I meant both the command and the command's output. ---

Ah! It looks like you have perhaps misspelled "turnstile" as "trunstile". I'm guessing that you see this message when you try to run a program that begins with ```scheme #lang trunstile+ ... ``` To fix this, make sure your program begins with the correct language name. I agree that the error message in this case should be improved, and not make reference to collections directories in this way. ---

... though, to be clear, the error message does also make reference to 267 additional collections directories. I believe that what you're really seeing here is the unfortunate combination of - a historical artifact, the existence of collections separate from packages, and - an ordering that puts the collection search path before the others. For more information about collections, you can see [https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/collects.html#(tech.\_collection)](https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/collects.html#%28tech._collection%29) ... though to be clear, it appears to me that the fix for your issue is simply to spell the name of the language in the way expected by the package. ---

No problem! If I had a nickel for every mistake like that I'd made, I'd be very rich.
