You are right. perl6 and all the similarlily generated parrot-languages binaries do not work. They have hardcoded paths to the builddir, which I thought I have fixed, but my fix only affected parrot itself not the dumped (with pbc_to_exe generated) languages executables. And my test did not include renaming the builddir. Best is to remove these two packages from the release dir until I fix it. I'm behind a strict firewall now, can someone do this for me? -- Reini Urban http://phpwiki.org/ http://murbreak.at/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
