System is: Slackware 12.2/libc 2.7/gcc4.2.4 After building 5.8: 'configure && make' Decided next to run the test suite: 'make check > foo.bar' And then: 'grep -i fail foo.bar' Output was: FAIL: t030 FAIL: t050 FAIL: t602 Thanks for reporting this problem. Could you please do: $ cd .../rcs-5.8 $ make check VERBOSE=1 > check.log 2>&1 $ tar czf badness.tar.gz \ config.log \ check.log \ tests/t*.d and file a bug report on savannah, attaching badness.tar.gz (see <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=additem&group=rcs>)? Also a nit... has anyone um, looked at the documentation? Its rife with accented UTF-8 characters like '‘' that of course don't play nice (depending on locale I'm guessing) with some apps like 'less', 'vi', etc... For viewing the README, etc, w/ less(1), you can: $ alias uless='LESSCHARSET=utf-8 less' $ uless README I skimmed the less manpage for a way to autodetect UTF-8 from the document itself, but nothing jumped out. The home page has'em as well: <http://www.gnu.org/s/rcs/> This part is now fixed. Maybe I ought to stick with v5.7 for the time being? If 5.7 is working for you, that sounds like a good idea. On the other hand, if you are adventurous, you can help improve things so that the next release will be less problematic.
