And (I should have asked this earlier) in what sense was the compiler not yet installed correctly? Was it, e.g., a standard Win32 box with no compiler at all?
I'd installed visual studio (the free compiler suite one can get from Microsoft) but hadn't gone through all the config options recommended by Parrot (which actually points to the Perl 5 docs...) and so haven't actually been able to get Parrot to *start* building. Anyway, Configure most certainly can't find a compiler. So, *essentially* yes, a standard Win32 box with no compiler. Hope that helps, Paul
