You should be able to avoid all that output by not setting VERBOSE. Typically, all you will see with a plain 'make check' is: PASS: testabc PASS: testxyz XFAIL: testfoobar ... The spurious FAIL outputs you get when verbosely running check4.test originate in the fact that the check4 test tests testsuites: it ensures that failing tests are marked as such, for example. So that output is there on purpose, so to say. If you get verbose output on 'make -e check', then consider unsetting the environment variable VERBOSE. Hope that helps. Cheers, Ralf
