OK, I started to install the test suite. Here are the problems:


-       yacc is in /usr/ccs/bin/
        As this is not in the default PATH for root, the yacc test fails

-       tar has no 'z' option
        (so I used star to extract)

-       The tar files are not POSIX compliant (pease don't use GNUtar
        but star to create portable archives).

-       chown does not support "chown {user}.{group}"
        "chown {user}:{group}" is the correct syntax.

        Error message is:
                Setting up ownership and permissions correctly
                chown: unbekannte Benutzerkennung vsx0.vsxg0

... hope this helps to make you test more standard compliant.

Next question:

        -       Do I really need to run the test suite on Linux?

        -       is there a simple way to run only the tar tests?
