 Priority:  major     |   Milestone:       
Component:  install   |     Version:  1.7.0
 Severity:  high      |    Keywords:

----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 When executing load_bytecode 'foo.pbc', if foo.pbc exists in
 runtime/parrot/library of Parrot's build location, then that library is
 loaded in preference to ''any'' other copy of the library that may exist.
 This is true even for installed parrots -- the build tree version gets
 prioritized over any installed library of the same name, or any same-named
 library in the current working directory.

 IMO, an installed Parrot (parrot executable created via "make install")
 should look only in the current directory and in the installed library
 path (in that order), and never search the build tree path.
