The check10.test failure was probably due to a bug in the test, since fixed in the git version of Automake. The rest I don't know yet, let's find out: please post the output of: cd tests gmake check VERBOSE=yes TESTS='check10.test pr9.test tar.test' Also, which system does this happen on? The output of running path/to/automake-1.10.2/lib/config.guess would be interesting, too. Please also do likewise for the other report you sent for the other system. Thanks! Ralf
