Hi all, I have just tried to build coreutils-7.1 on a RHEL4 (32bits) machine (building with GCC-4.1.2). "make check" fails on mv/part-symlink.log The end of the log contains: === + diff -u expected-7010 actual-7010 --- expected-7010

You can do that by setting this envvar export CANDIDATE_TMP_DIRS=/some/other/partition/tmp and rerunning the test. Thanks for your prompt answer. Indeed it made the test pass. Thanks. ___ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http

2009-05-13 Thread Christophe LYON
I'm guessing the Solaris 8 system strftime() (called by Perl) doesn't support %F, whereas `date +%F` is using a gnulib replacement? This can be replaced I think with "%Y-%m-%d", as in the diff below. Thanks, you patches indeed fixes the problem. Now, tty-eof fails: tty-eof: sort didn't exit

To exclude races, is this prob 100% reproducible with: (cd tests && make check TESTS=misc/tty-eof VERBOSE=yes) I have actually run the whole build + test session twice since your email, and the passed both times. So I guess there was some sort of race condition. Thanks for your support,
