Hi When unpacking the automake-1.10 tarball by a different user (e.g. root, with 'tar xpf -' ) and then building and running 'make check' from a different object directory, some tests fail because of missing execute permissions:
/bin/ksh[9]: /build/automake-1.10/tests/cond33.test: cannot execute This is because some *.test files have permission rwxr--r-- instead of rwxr-xr-x. To find out which tests, do cd automake-1.10/tests ls -l *.test | grep r-- To make the problem go away, do cd automake-1.10/tests chmod a+x *.test before packing up the next distribution ;-) Greetings, Arto
