Your script worked for me, after two modifications:
1. Add the --location option to the curl command, so that
redirects from github are honored.
2. Remove the trailing slash from the $base variable.
The script I used ended up looking like:
set -e
dist=rakudo-star-2012.05
base=https://github.com/downloads/rakudo/star
curl --location $base/$dist.tar.gz |
gzip -cd |
tar x
cd $dist
perl Configure.pl --gen-parrot
make
make install
I'm guessing the error message you got in
https://gist.github.com/2868058 comes from your Perl 5
installation looking in $PWD/lib for modules, and finding
Rakudo's lib.pm in lib/lib.pm in response to Configure.pl's
"use lib" statement. Perl 5 then complains about not
understanding the (Perl 6) @*INC variable. I'm not sure
if looking in $PWD/lib for Perl 5 modules is unique to
your environment or something we need to handle in a more
general case.
Hope this helps,
Pm
