Hi Peter -
I am no expert, but what I do is:
1) create a 'pugs-and-parrot' dir. I put this
in /usr/local/src/pugs-and-parrot.
You could put the dir anywhere, i.e. /home/pschwenn/pugs-and-parrot or where
ever.
2) Get the parrot source, either from svn (that's what I do) or a tarball.
If you use a tarball, unpack it to a subdirectory of pugs-and-parrot. THIS IS
THE PARROT SOURCE TREE YOU NEED TO BUILD PUGS. Do NOT make clean or remove
this
tree until you have built pugs.
3) Configure, make, and install parrot.
4) Get the pugs source and put it in a subdirectory of pugs-and-parrot
just as in 2) above.
5) Export:
export PARROT_PATH="the-parrot-tree-in-step-2"
export PUGS_EMBED="parrot perl5"
These are the only environment settings needed to inform pugs about
parrot. Pugs should configure with parrot and be ready to use.
6) Configure, make, and install pugs.
7) You may now clean-up or remove your pugs-and-parrot directory.

It seems that you have done the above already... :)

Do you need the '-Bparrot'? The pugs configure 'imbeds' parrot in pugs
and to the best of my knowledge it's just there. 'pugs <src.p6>' should
work (it does for me). Maybe someone here with more experience with the
pugs system can address this issue further. As I mentioned, I am just
playing with pugs to get a feel for p6 syntax, etc., and am no expert.
