Re: Question on check-process / autoconf-2.6.3

[Dr. Ing. Dieter Jurzitza]

Dear Eric,
for the begin: you're right, I am not attempting to build 2.6.3 but 2.63 
instead, this was just a typo.
Thank you very much for your hint, so I called

make check TESTSUITEFLAGS='-v 27', the output of this command does not lead me 
really further, hence I attach what is significant during the processing of 
this command, maybe you have more insight what actually happens and what is 
expected to happen and how to circumvent the problem (probably).

Thank your very much for your feedback,
take care



Dieter

You may investigate any problem if you feel able to do so, in which
case the test suite provides a good starting point.  Its output may
be found below `tests/testsuite.dir'.
