I've just committed a fix that should take care of that; if you re-run
cvs update (and setup-plt -c), you should be okay. I wasn't able to
reproduce the problem, but I might have had slightly newer sources than
you. If you still have problems, please let me know precisely what you
did that caused the error (ie where did you click just before the error
shows up).

This is a known bug in Scheme-file compilation. We're working on it.
This particular error merely indicates that the test suite tool didn't
load properly so it shouldn't affect you (unless you wanted to run the
automatic drscheme test suite)

No, I think that your compile was fine.
