Thanks for the report. However, note that the latest is 2.3: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/parted/parted-2.3.tar.xz ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/parted/parted-2.3.tar.gz and it has numerous bug fixes over 2.2. I'm not surprised that when you build --without-readline, some tests fail. That is an unusual way to build. However, the first few failures in the output you included are due to the lack of a mktemp program that accepts the --tmp option: +++ mktemp -d --tmp=/scratch/yellin/parted-2.2/tests pe-t0001-tiny.sh.XXXXXXXXXX mktemp: invalid option -- - Usage: mktemp [-V] | [-dqtu] [-p prefix] [template] FTR, you can get the required program by installing the GNU coreutils. That the parted-2.2's tests rely on that is a bug. However, that bug is fixed in the latest. I suggest you try parted-2.4, which should be released in the next few hours. These don't yet exist, but they will: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/parted/parted-2.4.tar.xz ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/parted/parted-2.4.tar.gz _______________________________________________ bug-parted mailing list bug-parted@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-parted
