[Pdx-pm] August meeting tonight - rakudo install

[Eric Wilhelm]

# from Eric Wilhelm on Thursday 09 August 2012:
> sudo aptitude install libicu44 # I guess
> wget https://github.com/downloads/rakudo/star/rakudo-
>star-2012.07.tar.gz
> tar -xf rakudo-star-2012.07.tar.gz
> cd rakudo-star-2012.07
> perl Configure.pl --gen-parrot --gen-nqp
> make
> make install
> export PATH=$PWD/install/bin:$PATH
> perl6 -e 'say "Hello {[+] 1..5000}"'

We also realized last night that the debian packages 'libicu-dev' and 
'libreadline5-dev' were required to get unicode and readline support.
