I don't believe they are related to system load. You should examine the differences (look in the test/work subdirectory for the log, base, and diff files) to see what the error is. pa> Also in case of SX system there is no "uptime" command pa> and there is also an error for the "getloadavg" pa> test as that test doesn't run on SX and it gives pa> "Error getting load average". If you don't have getloadavg support, you will not be able to use the -l option to GNU make. Other than that, everything should work normally. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
