I have some further information, and it's quite surprising. At this point with a fresh guile-1.8.0 tree, popen.test no longer fails during make check, it hangs, but only in *some* trees. If the tree is named guile-1.8.0, the test will work. If the tree is named foo-1.8.0, the test will hang. For example, if I do this: tar xzf guile-1.8.0.tar.gz cd guile-1.8.0 ./configure --host=i486-linux-gnu --build=i486-linux-gnu --with-threads=yes make make check popen.test doesn't hang, but if I do this tar xzf guile-1.8.0.tar.gz mv guile-1.8.0 foo-1.8.0 cd foo-1.8.0 ./configure --host=i486-linux-gnu --build=i486-linux-gnu --with-threads=yes make make check it does hang (repeatably). I've looked at the process in gdb after it hangs, and it appears to be blocked in a select waiting in (I think) the "no duplicate" test. At first I thought this might just be a local issue, but then I asked someone on irc to try the same thing, and they saw identical behavior on a completely different architecture (powerpc). I'd really like to get this tracked down. The reason I noticed the problem is because the tree that the build tree for the forthcoming Debian Guile 1.8 packages isn't named guile-1.8.0. -- Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org and @debian.org; previously @cs.utexas.edu GPG starting 2002-11-03 = 14DD 432F AE39 534D B592 F9A0 25C8 D377 8C7E 73A4 _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
