Just for the record, with your example parallel-20160822 seems to be working
perfectly fine on Mageia Linux v6 x86-64:
«
shlomif@telaviv1:~$ /home/shlomif/apps/gnu-parallel/bin/parallel --memfree
5G :::: example.txt && echo hello
Academic tradition requires you to cite works
you base your article on. When using programs that use GNU Parallel to process
data for publication please cite:
O. Tange (2011): GNU Parallel - The Command-Line Power Tool,
;login: The USENIX Magazine, February 2011:42-47.
This helps funding further development; AND IT WON'T COST YOU A CENT.
If you pay 10000 EUR you should feel free to use GNU Parallel without citing.
To silence the citation notice: run 'parallel --citation'.
Thank you
GNU parallel
hello
shlomif@telaviv1:~$

Can you try building parallel using a perl installed using
https://perlbrew.pl/ ?
