What should the PATH variable be? Or is it continually changing? p.s. I notice it ALWAYS fails after the touch/now/owned/by/other (FAIL) test. And, I am running this mounted over NVSv4 mount.
I read somewhere that AIX is "notorious" for failing the "version"ing (in libtool, or configure scripts somewhere if I recall. No idea if this is related). regards, Michael On Mon, Jan 2, 2012 at 10:52 PM, Jim Meyering <[email protected]> wrote: > Michael Felt wrote: > ... > > Making check in tests > > make check-TESTS > > help-version: failed test: --version-$VERSION mismatch > > FAIL: misc/help-version > > Thanks.
