If I don't add '/usr/local/lib' to it, then when I run 'parrot hello.pir', I get (transcribed): parrot: error while loading shared libraries: libparrot.so.0.4.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Browsing through /usr/local/lib with 'kwrite', I notice that the permissions for 'libparrot.so.0.4.1' are -rwxr-xr-x, whereas for many of the other shared libraries the permissions are 'lrwxr-xr-x'. I don't know if that's relevant to the issue .... I don't know what the first permission is, or how to change it. (I don't use linux all that much.) Cheers, Rob
