I think that will get the test passing. I looked at my log and that test should indeed pass. Is it possible that you are out of disk space when running the test? It looks like the test script is tcl in findutils-4.4.2/locate/testsuite/config/unix.exp with old_prefix.exp as an argument. You might want to research the output commands for tcl and insert some debugging statements into old_prefix.exp to see if the db is really being created. I'd just do 'exec ls -lR tmp/' before and after the locate_start command to see what is going on. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
