aclocal6 fails for me too, but everything else passes. Some of this may be system resources, e.g. stack size, on the host OS. Sometimes there are timing issues, but I wouldn't think so in automake. > (ii) Gettext-0.18.1.1 constantly remains with two failing tests: > test-areadlink, and test-readlink. Both of those pass for me. You really have to dig into the individual tests to decide what is failing. Many times the failures are really obscure corner cases. Sometimes a change makes the test indicate a false failure. http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/build-logs/7.0/core2duo/test-logs/ > Is it possible to quietly go ahead or should I find some specific patches? I'd press ahead. However, If you do find something interesting, please let us know. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
