this fails with error message

{{{
""load_language"" couldn't find a compiler module for the language 'nqp'
}}}

calling the opcode with the argument ""nqp-rx"" does no better. Since NQP is a language compiler, and since it ships with Parrot, I would expect it to be loadable using this mechanism, somehow.

the load_language opcode calls src/packfile.c:Parrot_load_language(), which expects to find a ""languages/nqp/nqp.pbc"" or ""library/nqp/nqp.pbc"" in the installation directory. The NQP PBC is instead located at ""library/nqp-rx.pbc"".

To make this work and keep compatibility with the current setup, I suggest that nqp-rx.pbc be copied (or symlinked, where supported) to ""languages/nqp/nqp.pbc"". Necessary supporting files can be copied/symlinked in that same directory too."	bug	new	normal		install	2.6.0	medium		nqp	jkeenan
