I've also had problems with java.test on x86_64, I reported it on gnats, as automake/443 (no direct link apparently), as suggested on http://sources.redhat.com/automake/. Is it the correct process ?I am trying to install automake 1.9.4 from source on my system. The system is a Slackware 10.0.0 installation on a PII/233. I upgraded m4 to 1.4.2, and also installed Diff Utils 2.8.1 from source.. Additionally, Bison 1.875 is installed, from source I believe. Otherwise, all software is as it comes from the distro.
I have attached a script of the build, which simply follows the following commands:
$ ./configure $ make $ make check
However, it is failing 8 tests, XFAILs 3 tests, and skips 50 tests. I'm not terribly concerned about the XFAIL'd and skipped tests, but I don't want to install the software until it passes all the tests.
The following is a list of the tests failed:
cond35.test pr204.test subpkg.test yacc4.test yacc6.test yacc7.test yacc8.test yaccvpath.test
