Still a problem in Fedora 18. That you can't even run hello world, seems like a pretty good illustration that no one is using or maintaining Perl6 in Fedora

Comment 2 Daniel Berrangé 2013-01-24 14:37:23 UTC

What do you know - 'yum install nqp' fixes the problem - the rakudo-star RPM spec is obviously missing a "Requires: nqp" statement.

Comment 3 Gerd Pokorra 2013-01-25 15:23:51 UTC

This is correct. A "Requires: nqp" statement would solve this dependency. I will add this to next rakudo-star version, that I expect soon on top of Parrot 5.0 and NQP 2013.01.

Comment 4 Gerd Pokorra 2013-01-31 16:55:06 UTC

Today I built the new package of rakudo-star for F18 and F19 (rawhide). It is in the update-testing stream. The "Requires nqp" statement is added. Can I close the ticket?

FYI, if you add the bug number to the Bohdi update, it will get automatically closed when it lands in the updates repo.
