Yeah, the latest and greatest Autotools are needed for development.
(This will no longer be a problem once you have Guix installed because
that’s what the distro has: the latest and greatest.  :-))

It’s 0.2 actually.  :-)

The test log has a lot of these:

The code that leads to this error is this:

    /* Check that the output is not group or world writable,
       as that means that someone else can have interfered
       with the build.  Also, the output should be owned by
       the build user. */
    if ((!S_ISLNK(st.st_mode) && (st.st_mode & (S_IWGRP | S_IWOTH))) ||
        (buildUser.enabled() && st.st_uid != buildUser.getUID()))
        throw BuildError(format("suspicious ownership or permission on `%1%'; 
rejecting this build output") % path);

Could you check the permissions on these files?

What does the ‘umask’ command show?

Thanks,
