Summary: "Failed to load libpcre" during build Reported by: colomon@gmail.com --- Using RELEASE_3_3_0-199-g3b374ae, I get the following (under OS X): Failed to load libpcre current instr.: 'parrot;PCRE;init' pc 0 (runtime/parrot/library/pcre.pir:57) called from Sub 'read_one_sig' pc 1943 (tools/dev/nci_thunk_gen.pir:854) called from Sub 'read_sigs' pc 1864 (tools/dev/nci_thunk_gen.pir:816) called from Sub 'main' pc 40 (tools/dev/nci_thunk_gen.pir:48) gmake: *** [src/glut_nci_thunks.c] Error 1 Command failed (status 512): gmake install-dev Error while executing perl build/gen_parrot.pl --prefix=/Users/colomon/sol/temp/rakudo/parrot_install --gc=gms --optimize; aborting I've been successfully building Parrot this way for years, so this would appear to be a fairly recent change. Scuttlebutt on #perl6 is that other people have seen this problem as well. --- osname= darwin osvers= 9.0 arch= darwin-thread-multi-2level cc= cc --- Flags: category=core severity=high ack=no --- Summary of my parrot 3.3.0 (r1) configuration: configdate='Wed May 11 18:47:17 2011 GMT' Platform: osname=darwin, archname=darwin-multi-2level perl=perl Compiler: cc='/usr/bin/gcc-4.0', ccflags='-O2 -fno-common -I/opt/local/include -no-cpp-precomp -pipe -fstack-protector -I/opt/local/include -pipe -fno-common -DHASATTRIBUTE_CONST -DHASATTRIBUTE_DEPRECATED -DHASATTRIBUTE_MALLOC -DHASATTRIBUTE_NONNULL -DHASATTRIBUTE_NORETURN -DHASATTRIBUTE_PURE -DHASATTRIBUTE_UNUSED -DHASATTRIBUTE_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT -DDISABLE_GC_DEBUG=1 -DNDEBUG -DHAS_GETTEXT', Linker and Libraries: link='c++', linkflags='-undefined dynamic_lookup -L/opt/local/lib', ld='c++', ldflags='-L/opt/local/lib -fstack-protector -L"/Users/colomon/sol/temp/rakudo/parrot/blib/lib"', cc_ldflags='', libs='-lm -lutil -lgmp -lreadline -lintl' Dynamic Linking: cc_shared=' ', link_dynamic=' ', ld_share_flags='-dynamiclib -undefined dynamic_lookup', ld_load_flags='-undefined dynamic_lookup -bundle' Extensions: o='.o', a='.a', exe='', share_ext='.dylib', load_ext='.bundle' Misc Programs: ar='ar', ranlib='ranlib', make='gmake', make_set_make='#' Types: iv=long, intvalsize=4, intsize=4, opcode_t=long, opcode_t_size=4, ptrsize=4, byteorder=1234, nv=double, numvalsize=8, doublesize=8, longdoublesize=16 --- Environment: DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH =:/usr/local/netpbm/lib HOME =/Users/colomon LANG =en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE (unset) LC_CTYPE =en_US.UTF-8 LD_LIBRARY_PATH (unset) LOGDIR (unset) PATH =/Users/colomon/.perl6/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin::/Users/colomon/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/local/git/bin:/usr/local/netpbm/bin SHELL =/bin/bash
