Did you try the
perl Configure --gen-parrot
invocation as described in rakudo's README file?
If not, which commands did you use for building?

This looks like some dynamic parrot or rakudo libraries are missing, but
in normal circumstances you don't get such an error. Did you do a full
'make install' of parrot? (Can be a local install, but it must be
installed). A 'make install-bin' won't be enough.
