I'm going to start learning Perl 6 and read that I should be using rakudo star so I've been trying install it. I downloaded the tar.gz file and extracted it in my Downloads directory. From there I opened my terminal and tried the ./configure in the directory along with make. I tried the sudo chmod +x ./configure. I've done it all...driving me crazy.

I have installed stunnel4, build essential(but I can't find the GUI...if there is one, lol). I've tried dpkg as well. I'm lost if you could let me in on what I'm doing wrong I would truly appreciate it. THANX!

Ohh, BTW Huge newb to Ubuntu/linux...learning.

Try'n'read the README file.

Edit: This is what the readme file says:

On Debian GNU/Linux or Ubuntu Linux, the necessary components
for building Rakudo can be installed via the command

aptitude install build-essential libicu-dev subversion

Readline support also requires the "libreadline5-dev" library.
Building Rakudo Star
--------------------
The basic steps to build Rakudo Star are:

$ perl Configure.pl --gen-parrot
$ make
$ make install

I really appreciate it, for some reason I missed that. Must have been a little tired. I was scouring forums, Thanx again!

Now that I look at it again, I think I might have been missing a package that needed to be installed before I tried the "perl configure.pl --gen-parrot" command. Again thanx!
