It just works. Tested using moarvm/nqp/rakudo 2016.10 on debian testing.
Steps I took (as a non-root user):
sudo apt-get install rakudo libffi-dev libtommath-dev libuv1-dev
libatomic-ops-dev binutils make gcc
# the dev packages and the compiler tools are needed because Linenoise
compiles a library.
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/tadzik/panda.git
cd panda
perl6 bootstrap.pl
export PATH=~/.perl6/bin:$PATH
echo "export PATH=~/.perl6/bin:\$PATH" >> ~/.bashrc
panda install Linenoise
# now one is able to run "perl6" with history and line editing features
So this issue is closable.
Cheers, Tobias
