Thanks for testing. But the above does not make sense to me because until ./configure is run there is no ./Makefile and therefore the "make bootstrap" can't work. Also since this is a distribution test snapshot then you should not need/want to bootstrap anyway. Instead use the files that came with the distribution bundle. Simply unpack then './configure' and then 'make'. Either: lzma -dc coreutils-6.9-354-68c33a.tar.lzma | tar xf - Or: tar xzf coreutils-6.9-354-68c33a.tar.gz Then: cd coreutils-6.9-354-68c33a ./configure make > --- RUN_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=yes make -k check 2>&1 | tee make-check.res > ... > ... > > grep FAIL make-check.res > FAIL: printf-surprise.log Can you run the test again with VERBOSE=yes set and then post the contents of the printf-surprise.log file? VERBOSE=yes RUN_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=yes make -C tests/misc check TESTS=printf-surprise Thanks Bob _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
