Package: rakudo
Version: 0.1~2011.07-1
Severity: normal

It is my understanding from the documentation that simply typing
'perl6' on the command line should put me into interactive mode (based
on http://rakudo.org/how-to-get-rakudo/).

Instead I get the error message:

PARROT VM: Could not load bytecode
Could not load oplib `io_ops'

So... it looks like something is missing.  This was my install (note
that this machine is running stable, not testing, so perhaps that is
part of the problem..?):

  root@linux> apt-get install rakudo parrot-devel/testing
  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree
  Reading state information... Done
  Selected version '3.6.0-1' (Debian:testing [amd64]) for 'parrot-devel'
  The following extra packages will be installed:
    libparrot-dev libparrot2.0.0 libparrot3.6.0 parrot parrot-devel 
parrot-minimal
  Suggested packages:
    parrot-doc
  The following NEW packages will be installed:
    libparrot-dev libparrot2.0.0 libparrot3.6.0 parrot parrot-devel 
parrot-minimal rakudo

all of which went perfectly smoothly.

Thanks/best
