Alex,

That sort of failure is often caused by having a mismatch between the installed 
version and the tested version of GnuCash,
for example by installing maint and then attempting to build and check master. 
The dynamic linker will generally link
libraries first from the install directory and look in the build directory only 
if it can't find the image in the install directory.

To test if that's what's happening to you, run `make uninstall && make check` 
and see if it passes.

Regards,
John Ralls

make-check fails if not installed

[Alex Aycinena]

On a new clone on master, make-check fails on its first run (before being
installed) but succeeds after the application has been installed in its
install directory. This is because the guile symbol
'qof_backend_register_provider' is being looked for in three instances in
the install directory instead of in the build directory. The following is
reported in src/engine/test/test-suite.log:

FAIL: test-test-extras
==

/home/gnucash-dev/gitcheckouts/gnucash-working-build/gnc-guile: symbol
lookup error:
/opt/gnucash-git/gnucash-working/lib/gnucash/libgncmod-backend-dbi.so:
undefined symbol: qof_backend_register_provider
FAIL test-test-extras (exit status: 127)

FAIL: test-account
==

/home/gnucash-dev/gitcheckouts/gnucash-working-build/gnc-guile: symbol
lookup error:
/opt/gnucash-git/gnucash-working/lib/gnucash/libgncmod-backend-dbi.so:
undefined symbol: qof_backend_register_provider
FAIL test-account (exit status: 127)

FAIL: test-split


/home/gnucash-dev/gitcheckouts/gnucash-working-build/gnc-guile: symbol
lookup error:
/opt/gnucash-git/gnucash-working/lib/gnucash/libgncmod-backend-dbi.so:
undefined symbol: qof_backend_register_provider
FAIL test-split (exit status: 127)
