Dear Sir,
My name is vijaya saradhi. I am a graduate student at IIT Kanpur. I
am trying to install higher versions of parted library on my computer
which has default fedora core 5 installation: parted-1.7.1-15.fc5. For
this I have downloaded parted-1.8.7 from the gnu website and trying to
following the installation instructions. I did ./configure and make
successfully.
When trying to do "make check", I am getting the following output:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
make check-TESTS
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/saradhi/softwares/parted-1.8.7/tests'
* ok 1: create the test file
* ok 2: run parted -s FILE mklabel msdos
* ok 3: expect no output
* ok 4: erase the left-over label
* ok 5: run parted mklabel (without -s) on a blank disk
* ok 6: create expected output file
* ok 7: check its "interactive" output
* ok 8: create interactive input
* ok 9: rerun that same command, but now with a preexisting label
* ok 10: normalize the actual output
* ok 11: create expected output file
* FAIL 12: check its output -- slightly different here, due to prompts
$compare out exp

* ok 1: create a file too small to hold a fat32 file system
* ok 2: label the test disk
* ok 3: expect no output
* ok 4: try/fail to create a file system in too small a space
* ok 5: create expected output file
* ok 6: check for expected failure diagnostic
* ok 7: clean up, preparing for next test
* ok 8: create a file large enough to hold a fat32 file system
* ok 9: label the test disk
* ok 10: expect no output
* ok 11: create an msdos file system
* ok 12: expect no output
* passed all 12 test(s)

===================================
1 of 3 tests failed
Please report to bug-parted@gnu.org
===================================
make[1]: *** [check-TESTS] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/saradhi/softwares/parted-1.8.7/tests'
make: *** [check-am] Error 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How serious is this error? Now that I got this error, I haven't done the
final step "make install". I request you to kindly let me know if this is
a bug and suggest me whether I should go ahead and do make install.
thanking you,
sincerely,
vijaya saradhi.
