---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
Attached test script (to be placed in ext/Parrot-Embed/t)
works if I run it when standing in the parrot directory
{{{
perl -I ext/Parrot-Embed/blib/lib -I ext/Parrot-Embed/blib/arch ext
/Parrot-Embed/t/load_pct.t
}}}

but when any other directory (e.g. in ext/Parrot-Embed)
then the call
{{{
perl -Iblib/lib -Iblib/arch t/load_pct.t
}}}
fails with
{{{
"load_bytecode" couldn't find file 'PCT/Grammar.pbc'
current instr.: 'parrot;PCT;__onload' pc 0 (PCT.pir:15)
called from Sub 'mypct' pc 0 (EVAL_1:2)
}}}

Comment:

szabgab,

I have tried to reproduce your test failure, but I don't get very far. I
don't see these directories: ''ext/Parrot-Embed/blib/lib ext/Parrot-
Embed/blib/arch'' ... even after I've built ''./parrot''. In fact, I
don't know how to run any of the tests in ''ext/Parrot-Embed/t/''.

Can you update/advise?

Thank you very much.

Comment:

Parrot::Embed is gone from the repo now. Last I heard, it was completely
broken and would need a complete ground-up rewrite if we want that kind of
functionality around still.
