Don't know what (Dr) Racket is, but assuming the path shown above is the complete path to the binary executable, that explains why it works from Terminal and not from Finder/Launchpad. I don't have the specifics, but "MacOS" apps are required to have a specific folder structure. You run the "folder" (/Applications/Racket v7.1) and Finder locates the "real" executable by looking inside a certain folder structure. And "./bin" isn't it. When this app does run from the Terminal, does it run inside the Terminal window, or does it launch its own GUI? Does it require "X" to be running too?
