Dynamic libs don't seem to work

[Klaas-Jan Stol]

Hello,

I just got a fresh cvs checkout, compiled it, compiled pge and tried to
make tcl.
This is what I get:

(cd ../../ && ./parrot --output=languages/tcl/lib/tcllib.pbc
languages/tcl/lib/tcllib.imc)
Couldn't load 'tcl_group': tcl_group: cannot open shared object file: No
such file or directory
error:imcc:Unknown PMC type 'TclString'

in file 'languages/tcl/lib/commands/upvar.imc' line 13
included from 'languages/tcl/lib/tcllib.imc' line 1
make: *** [lib/tcllib.pbc] Error 17

Also:
- when doing "make test", all tests with dynamic pmc seem to fail.
- following instructions in dynoplibs and trying to execute the
"test.pasm" in dynoplibs/ doesn't work either.

Couldn't load 'myops_ops': myops_ops: cannot open shared object file: No
such file or directory
Couldn't load 'foo': foo: cannot open shared object file: No such file
or directory
Couldn't load 'libnci': libnci: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory
error:imcc:parse error, unexpected IDENTIFIER, expecting PARROT_OP
in file 'dynoplibs/test.pasm' line 43

Obviously, there is something wrong with dynamic libs.
I don't get what I'm doing wrong. This should all work right? Perljam
(sorry, don't know his real name)
told me on IRC he did a fresh checkout, and it all worked.

Any ideas?
thanks,

Can you give us a copy of the generated "myconfig" file in the top level parrot directory?

Try rebuilding after you issue the following from your top level parrot
directory:

perl Configure.pl --prefix=`pwd`

thanks, that worked! (what does this "--prefix='pwd' " do?)
dynoplibs still doesn't work, however. is this correct?

Ultimately, when Parrot is released and someone installs it, shared
libraries will go into a place like /usr/local/lib. So, by default,
that's where Parrot is looking for tcl_group.

However, you aren't installing it, or copying these shared libraries.
Instead you want Parrot to look *here*. That's where prefix comes in.
Configure.pl saves your prefix in src/parrot_config.h where it is used
to construct paths used at runtime.

`pwd` simply is your current working directory.

Sorry, I don't know anything about dynopslibs.
