Great! I wish your answer about the next problem would be the same!

Only one test is failing now - installsh.test. Perl reports the same
mesages many times, so I ran the output through sort and uniq.

$ make check TESTS=installsh.test VERBOSE=1 2>&1 | sort | uniq
1 of 1 tests failed
=== Running test ./installsh.test
