I tried this test on an older Mac: OS X 10.4 on Darwin. I did not get any outright failures because one test is SKIPped and another is expected to fail and hence is TODOed out.
$ prove -v t/examples/library.t t/examples/library.... 1..4 ok 1 - examples/library/getopt_demo.pir ok 2 - examples/library/md5sum.pir ok 3 # SKIP no pcre-config not ok 4 - ncurses_life.pir # TODO ncurses_life.pir not testable yet # Failed (TODO) test 'ncurses_life.pir' # at t/examples/library.t line 77. ok All tests successful. Files=1, Tests=4, 6 wallclock secs ( 0.04 usr 0.02 sys + 0.41 cusr 0.28 csys = 0.75 CPU) Result: PASS Could you post the output of prove -v on this file? Thank you very much. kid51
