Currently, the module only works on MPE, an operation system that only runs on an HP server called an HPe3000. As part of taking over the module, I'll be porting it to HP-UX and possibly Linux. One of the problems, is that the database calls are not available on other systems unless HP-Eloquence is installed. Checking for HP-Eloquence having been installed will be incorporated into the port.
The files that are put in the /tmp directory are filled with information for MPE's file system, and are safely ignored by other systems. I don't know why it claims that not tests were defined, but I suspect it has to do with the errors that must have been generated prior to getting to the "make test" stage.
