This is a binary win32 installation of parrot-0.8.1. The binary installation was made over an extracted parrot-0.8.1....gz so that the entire build directory structure and content is present (but no build has been done.) Parrot.exe is run from ...runtime\parrot\library to avoid another bug: that P6object.pbc can't be found. The error looks like: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C:\parrot-0.8.0\runtime\parrot\library>..\..\..\bin\parrot.exe ..\..\..\languages\perl6\perl6.pbc -e "say \"Hello World!\"" Null PMC access in get_string() current instr.: 'parrot;P6metaclass;add_parent' pc 95 (runtime\parrot\library\P6object.pir:126) called from Sub 'parrot;P6metaclass;add_parent' pc 219 (runtime\parrot\library\P6object.pir:205) called from Sub 'parrot;P6metaclass;register' pc 456 (runtime\parrot\library\P6object.pir:315) called from Sub 'parrot;Str;onload' pc 1493 (src/gen_builtins.pir:898) called from Sub 'parrot;Perl6;Compiler;main' pc -1 ((unknown file):-1) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This was run under Windows XP SP1 on a Dell Inspiron 8600 Laptop with 1G memory. (FWIW: My intuition, from related previous errors, is that on Win32 platform, the binary installation of Rakudo, even with the build directory filled in passively (no actual build), still lacks some directory structure or Environment variable that is created when a Build has actually been performed on the target machine.) Has anyone else been able to run Rakudo under Win32 WITHOUT doing a build-- just with a binary installation? Peter Schwenn
