thanks for the bug report. Both failures are new to me, and I cannot reproduce them on AIX 6.3. > FAIL: exeext4-p.test (exit: 1) > ============================== > === Running test ./exeext4-p.test > + pwd > /daten/source/automake-1.11.1/tests/exeext4-p.dir > + set -e > + cat > + 1>> configure.in 0< /tmp/sh9830582.3 > + cat > + 1> Makefile.am 0< /tmp/sh9830582.5 > + aclocal-1.11 -Werror > autom4te: /usr/local/bin/m4 terminated by signal: 0 > + exit_status=130 This is really weird, and kind of smells like flaky hardware or so, because I don't see why exeext4.test shouldn't fail if this one does. Can you do cp tests/test-suite.log tests/test-suite.log.backup make recheck to rerun both failing tests and see if the failure of this one is transient? Which autom4te and m4 versions is this happening with BTW? > FAIL: mkinst3.test (exit: 1) > ============================ > === Running test ./mkinst3.test > + pwd > /daten/source/automake-1.11.1/tests/mkinst3.dir > + set -e > + mkdir ~a b > + mkdir ~a b/-x y > + rm -rf ~a b > + cp /daten/source/automake-1.11.1/tests/../lib/mkinstalldirs . > + ./mkinstalldirs ~a b/-x y > mkdir -p -m 755 ~a b > chmod: ~a: A file or directory in the path name does not exist. > chmod: b: A file or directory in the path name does not exist. > mkdir -p -m 755 ~a b/-x y > chmod: ~a: A file or directory in the path name does not exist. > chmod: b/-x: A file or directory in the path name does not exist. > chmod: y: A file or directory in the path name does not exist. This looks completely broken already. Can you please post the output of type mkdir chmod Is /bin/sh the vendor shell? > + test -d ~a b/-x y > + rm -rf ~a b > + mkdir bin > + cat > + 1> bin/mkdir 0< /tmp/sh10879018.3 > + chmod +x bin/mkdir > + > AM_PATH=/daten/source/automake-1.11.1/tests:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:/usr/ > java5/jre/bin:/usr/java5/bin::/usr/vac/bin:/usr/vacpp/bin > + export AM_PATH > + + pwd > PATH=/daten/source/automake-1.11.1/tests/mkinst3.dir/bin:/daten/source/automake-1.11.1/tests:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/ > etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:/usr/java5/jre/bin:/usr/java5/bin::/usr/vac/bin:/usr/vacpp/bin > + export PATH > + ./mkinstalldirs ~a b/-x y > mkdir -p -m 755 ~a b > mkdir -p -m 755 ~a b/-x y > + exit_status=1 If this failure reoccurs with the recheck above, then can you please post the output of the following also: cd tests/mkinst3.dir rm -rf '~a b' /bin/sh -vx ./mkinstalldirs '~a b/-x y' echo $? rm -rf '~a b' (PATH=`pwd`/bin:$PATH; export PATH; /bin/sh -vx ./mkinstalldirs '~a b/-x y'; echo $?)
