Hi,
I'm trying to install perl6 on a commercial server. The OS is Debian
Stretch. The hosting service does not allow root access, so everything
must be done with user permission. I do not have access to apt. Snap
package cannot be installed.
My intention is also to set up CRO and develop a web site there.
I have uploaded rakudo-star, and run the Configure.pl routine
successfully. However, during the make phase, during the long PARSE
stage, I get a persistent error: MOAR panic unable to allocate xxx bytes.
On each occasion I have tried this, I get a different value of xxx, from
15,000 to 48bytes. The assumption is that memory depends on other
users/processes on the server.
The support staff is not being helpful (they claim userspace is 32-bit,
but uname indicates a 64-bit OS is being used, so I don't understand
their 32-bit concern).
Some questions:
a) Is there a rakudo package for debian Stretch I can install? (I'm just
asking, but I doubt it).
b) Is there a way to reduce the memory demands of MOAR during the Parse
phase?
c) Any other suggestions?
Richard
