Hello Again,
    I am now in chapter 10.22.1 automake-1.9.6. Between make and make 
install the book states that you can do a make check and that 2 tests 
are skipped that use automake so for full test coverage you can run the 
make check again after the install. The following was the summary block 
from the first make check.

=======================================================
All 531 tests behaved as expected (3 expected failures)
(36 tests were not run)
=======================================================

Then I did the make install and re-ran the make check. The following is 
the summary block from the second make check.

=====================================
1 of 531 tests failed
(36 tests were not run)
Please report to [email protected]
=====================================

There were a few that came out marked as XFAIL but they were labeled 
that way in the Makefile in the tests directory. The one in the summary 
seems to have been this one.

FAIL: aclocal7.test

I tried to figure out exactly what they were doing in the test script 
but I am not a good enough programmer to figure it out. I did find it 
interesting that it didn't fail tell after I did the make install. It 
could be a false positive because it was the second run of make check 
without cleaning up the tests directory. The scripts do create files and 
something may not have been cleaned out and messed up the second run of 
aclocal7.test.
