You'll want to get icu4c (icu for C), not icu4j (for java). If you
get the tgz C version, just tar xzvf it, cd source; ./configure;
make; make install. Note that most Linux distros have packages for
icu. apt-get install libicu.* will get everything you need on
Debian. (On other distros, be sure to install the -dev or -devel
pacakages).
Anyway, here's where I got it from:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/software/globalization/icu/3.4.1/
icu-3.4.1.tgz
On a related note, I understand that ICU is recommended but not
required for Parrot (right?). After searching in the Parrot docs
subdir a couple weeks ago, I couldn't find more than that. Questions:
1) Is there documentation on how ICU relates to Parrot somewhere
that I missed?
2) How important is ICU?
3) If I build Parrot without ICU, what repercussions should I expect?
This would be a good entry for the FAQs for a cage cleaner.
Thanks,
Chris
