The LSB package pulls in the requirements for LSB testing/compliance, but not the test suite. The official test suites are to be found at: ftp://ftp.freestandards.org/pub/lsb/test_suites/released-1.2.0/binary/runtime/ These are the only tests that should be used to test compliance. So far, there are few apps that use the LSB glibc and linker. Afaik, only the app-battery provided to run as part of the certification process. In the future of course, the LSB workgroup hopes this will change and commercial software vendors will begin porting applications to LSB compliant run-time systems (distributions). Stew Benedict
