LFS 6.4 : 5.23 grep check errors

zzypty · 03-09-2009, 02:19 PM

Hi!

Everything has been smooth till section 5.23. On giving the check command, this is the errors I got some errors (attached below).

It does say that the errors can be ignored, but is there any way to ascertain whether the tests that failed are not an indicator to failure in compilations later on?

Thanks for helping

Please, do not be alarmed if some of the tests failed.
Report them to <bug-grep@gnu.org>,
with the line number, the name of the file,
and grep version number 'grep --version'.
Thank You.

The book includes two patches for Grep that fix these test failures, but the instructions don't call for those patches to be applied until the permanent installation of Grep in Chapter 6 - hence the reason you're seeing errors now in Chapter 5. It's another reason (besides host interference) why running the test suites during Chapter 5 can be not only irrelevant but even misleading.

In any case, only if you see these errors again in Chapter 6.39 should they be a concern (and only after you've made sure you applied both patches to Grep successfully).
