I've also tracked down that problem with 'test-driver'.

So, there is a problem with 'test-driver' either because a testsuite does not provide --test-name=NAME or because --log-file=/tmp or --log-file=/tmp/delme is wrongly considered an invalid option. It applies to automake 1.13 as well. Could an Open MPI Team suggest if we could change that behavior, or, at least, make omitting --test-name not so critical? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Vasiliy List-Post: devel@lists.open-mpi.org Date: Thu, Jul 11, 2013 at 1:31 PM Subject: basename: a faulty warning 'extra operand --test-name' in tests causes test-driver to fail To: Open MPI Developers upon inspecting: $ /usr/share/automake-1.14/test-driver --help Usage: test-driver --test-name=NAME --log-file=PATH --trs-file=PATH [--expect-failure={yes|no}] [--color-tests={yes|no}] [--enable-hard-errors={yes|no}] [--] TEST-SCRIPT The '--test-name', '--log-file' and '--trs-file' options are mandatory. <code> make check-TESTS make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/64bit/release/openmpi/openmpi-1.9.0-a1/build/test/asm' make[2]: Entering directory '/usr/src/64bit/release/openmpi/openmpi-1.9.0-a1/build/test/asm' basename: extra operand `--test-name' Try `basename --help' for more information. --> Testing basename: extra operand `--test-name' Try `basename --help' for more information. --> Testing basename: extra operand `--test-name' Try `basename --help' for more information. --> Testing basename: extra operand `--test-name' Try `basename --help' for more information. --> Testing ... /usr/src/64bit/release/openmpi/openmpi-1.9.0-a1/src/openmpi-1.9.0/config/test-driver: line 95: <PID> Segmentation fault (core dumped) "$@" > $log_file 2>&1 </code>
