a) don't use test. It is just a waste of time. For some packages 'test' takes way more time than compiling and installing. b) don't be scared - a lot of packages have failing tests - for some tests it is even the right thing when they fail, others are just broken in the test-department. As a rule of thumb: for everything outside of sci-* test is a useless waste of time... -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
