Well, then, I cannot explain it. My tests fail. And it is the only thing that fails in hundreds of packages that I install.

I'm using LFS SVN as of Thursday, May 11th, 2006. > What is your host and how might you have > deviated from the book? Host (if you mean what I built LFS on) is a LFS SVN of 11/30/05 vintage. Deviations are as follows: GMP and MPFR installed before GCC to support a Fortran installation. However, since this is BLFS stuff just done in LFS, it shouldn't be considered as a deviation. > Also, there is no reason to run the second pass of tests if the first > failed. I disagree, unless you can convince me that the second pass which uses different parameters to the test script doesn't matter. And if somehow you try to explain that it is the same, why do the developers use different commands in the two invocations? > And I don't think it would be appropriate to disregard test > failures since it has been proven to pass. It is not proven to me. Ever, not once, in several *years*. And I am a BLFS editor. One who is diligent and as careful as anybody. The tests consistently fail. Would you like to see logs? Please go back in the LFS archives and see how long I've been mentioning these test suite failures. It has been years. > These are live tests of > mysqld as it is running. If they fail the daemon isn't fit to install. Then we indeed have a problem, because the two tests I mentioned consistently fail for me. Every time.
