It sounds like you're trying to compile C code with parrot - Parrot is a
compiler for the languages PIR and PASM, and provides an interpreter to run
PBC (parrot bytecode).
You can compile C code that interoperates with parrot (using the
embed/extend interface), but you cannot use parrot to compile and run C
code by itself. For that, you'd use a tool like GCC.
