Start with a fresh install of R* 2014.08 (from http://rakudo.org/downloads/star/rakudo-star-2014.08.tar.gz) on a Linux box.

When I attempted to install Compress​::Zlib with panda I got this error

$ ~/p/bin/panda install Compress​::Zlib
==> Compress​::Zlib depends on NativeCall, Compress​::Zlib​::Raw
==> Compress​::Zlib​::Raw depends on NativeCall
==> Fetching NativeCall
==> Building NativeCall
Compiling lib/NativeCall.pm6 to mbc
===SORRY!===
No registered operation handler for 'nativecallglobal'
build stage failed for NativeCall​: Failed building lib/NativeCall.pm6

Problem is NativeCall is installed

$ ~/p/bin/perl6 -MNativeCall -e 1
$ find ~/p/languages/perl6/ -name NativeCall\*
/home/pmarques/p/languages/perl6/lib/NativeCall.pm6.moarvm
/home/pmarques/p/languages/perl6/lib/NativeCall.pm6

Can work around by running panda with --nodeps.

Not sure if panda can see *any* of the installed modules. Picked JSON​::Tiny at random and panda doesn't think it is installed either.

$ ~/p/bin/panda info JSON​::Tiny
JSON​::Tiny
A minimal JSON (de)serializer
State​: not installed
Source-url​: git​://github.com/moritz/json.git

2014.09 will ship a panda state file, see​:

rakudo/star@54b69eba81

you can also check installed modules without attempting to install them via​:

$ panda --installed list

@FROGGS - Status changed from 'new' to 'resolved'

Just installed 2014.09 and still see the issue.

$ perl6 -v
This is perl6 version 2014.09 built on MoarVM version 2014.09

Panda doesn't seem to see any installed modules
$ panda --installed --verbose list

This is what it is right now, because I've manually installed Compress​::Zlib​::Raw

$ panda --installed list
Compress​::Zlib​::Raw [installed]

From a fresh install of R* it was empty

From @FROGGS

Please retest with rakudo-star-2014.12.1-moar.msi.

For me it gives this after a clean install of the msi​:
C​:\>panda-m --installed list
Bailador [installed]

Sorry, no.

Still the same as before when I installed rakudo-star-2014.12.1.tar.gz. Panda doesn't see any of the installed modules.

$ panda --installed list
No LSB modules are available.

Not sure what the message about LSB is all about.

if this worked for you with the Windoes install, is there any difference between that & the Linux one?

Ping me if you need more details.

Hi, what does `which panda` output? I'd almost say that it cannot find
panda in path, and the apt suggestions fail on your box...

That was my first thought, but no.

$ which panda
/home/paul/perl/perl6/rakudo/bin/panda
$ panda -h
No LSB modules are available.
Usage​:
  panda [--notests] [--nodeps] install [<modules> ...] -- Install the specified modules
  panda [--installed] [--verbose] list -- List all available modules
  panda update -- Update the module database
  panda info [<modules> ...] -- Display information about specified modules
  panda search <pattern> -- Search the name/description
  panda [--exclude=<Any>] smoke -- Test and install all known distributions
  panda look [<modules> ...] -- Download and unpack the distribution and then open the directory with your shell.

From @FROGGS

Ahh, it might be possible that panda's state will only be installed
using the Windows MSI on... err, Windows...

I'll check the star tarball on a linux later and report back.

Issue is still present in star 2015.01

Many changes in panda and rakudo since then; can you test this with the latest rakudo star from 2016.07?

panda is deprecated and the use of zef recommended.
