When you initially said something about this, I did not realize that there were failures in the tests. I think they should be removed. The tests are over 10 years old, and if they haven't been fixed by now, they ain't ever gunna be. I think having tests that fail, even if it is mentioned, will cause folks to ask needless questions. Please explain what benefit having those tests do for the package as it is a mature package that is known by all to work properly. -- Randy rmlinux: [bogomips 3993.32] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.2] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 15:46:19 up 4 days, 23:20, 9 users, load average: 0.13, 0.12, 0.05 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
