Re: Problems running make check on Solaris 6, 7 & 8

[Akim Demaille]

| I am trying to upgrade to the latest version of autoconf on our solaris 
| machines. We have machines running solaris 6, 7 & 8. They all exhibit the 
same 
| beahvior when running make check. Also, this behavior does not change when 
using 
| either gcc 2.95.3 or 3.0.x.
| 
| After entering make check and the initial start up has completed, you have to 
| hit the enter key to get the testsuite to begin executing.
| 
| For the following tests, you to hit enter key for them to complete:
| 
|  10: tools.at:447      
| ok
|  11: tools.at:474      
| ok
|  23: base.at:213       
| ok
|  24: base.at:232       
| 
| Then, the testsuite hangs on 25: torture.at:48. I left it on that test when I 
| went home last night and it is still there this morning. I even tried the 
enter 
| key like previous test. But, that didn't help.
| 
| I am compiling using the native sun as and ld. Everything is compiled the 
same 
| in that respect.

Could you please run

        cd tests
        ./testsuite -d -v -x <list of weird tests>

?

That should give us some hints of what is going wrong.

        Thanks!
