Hi! I cloned the development tree and checked out AUTOCONF-2.60. Then, I did: ./configure --prefix=/my/personal/dev/tree make make check All tests are okay except four testsuites related to Fortran: 147-150. I googled and found a thread about the testsuites (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2008-03/msg00067.html) but the problem is different from mine. My problem is that for all the testsuites, the following files are not the same: clean-state-env.before clean-state-env.after so that testsuite.log of each failing testsuite has the following common line: --- 8< ---------------------------------------------------------------- ./acfortran.at:12: $at_diff "clean-state-env.before" "clean-state-env.after" --- /dev/null 2009-09-11 14:52:41.000000000 +0200 +++ /my/personal/dev/tree/autoconf/tests/testsuite.dir/at-stdout 2011-02-23 22:45:51.000000000 +0100 @@ -0,0 +1,22 @@ +--- clean-state-env.before 2011-02-23 22:45:51.000000000 +0100 ++++ clean-state-env.after 2011-02-23 22:45:51.000000000 +0100 +@@ -5,7 +5,11 @@ + BASH_SOURCE=([0]="./configure") + BASH_VERSINFO=([0]="3" [1]="2" [2]="48" [3]="1" [4]="release" [5]="i486-pc-linux-gnu") + BASH_VERSION='3.2.48(1)-release' ++COLLECT_GCC_OPTIONS='\''-o'\'' '\''conftest'\'' '\''-g'\'' '\''-O2'\'' '\''-v'\'' '\''-shared-libgcc'\'' '\''-mtune=generic'\'' ++COLLECT_GCC_OPTIONS='\''-o'\'' '\''conftest'\'' '\''-g'\'' '\''-O2'\'' '\''-v'\'' '\''-shared-libgcc'\'' '\''-mtune=generic'\'' ++COLLECT_GCC_OPTIONS='\''-o'\'' '\''conftest'\'' '\''-g'\'' '\''-O2'\'' '\''-v'\'' '\''-shared-libgcc'\'' '\''-mtune=generic'\'' + COLORTERM=gnome-terminal ++COMPILER_PATH=/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.3.3/:/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.3.3/:/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/:/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.3.3/:/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/:/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.3.3/:/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/ + DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-boMNfCwb00,guid=b0c7a8d7f29cd46e6c8cdcba4d656a3a + DESKTOP_SESSION=default + DIRSTACK=() +@@ -46,6 +50,7 @@ + LC_TIME=C + LESSCLOSE='/usr/bin/lesspipe %s %s' + LESSOPEN='| /usr/bin/lesspipe %s' ++LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.3.3/:/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.3.3/:/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.3.3/../../../../lib/:/lib/../lib/:/usr/lib/../lib/:/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.3.3/../../../:/lib/:/usr/lib/ + LOGNAME=eus + LS_COLORS='no=00:fi=00:di=01;34:ln=01;36:pi=40;33:so=01;35:do=01;35:bd=40;33;01:cd=40;33;01:or=40;31;01:su=37;41:sg=30;43:tw=30;42:ow=34;42:st=37;44:ex=01;32:*.tar=01;31:*.tgz=01;31:*.svgz=01;31:*.arj=01;31:*.taz=01;31:*.lzh=01;31:*.lzma=01;31:*.zip=01;31:*.z=01;31:*.Z=01;31:*.dz=01;31:*.gz=01;31:*.bz2=01;31:*.bz=01;31:*.tbz2=01;31:*.tz=01;31:*.deb=01;31:*.rpm=01;31:*.jar=01;31:*.rar=01;31:*.ace=01;31:*.zoo=01;31:*.cpio=01;31:*.7z=01;31:*.rz=01;31:*.jpg=01;35:*.jpeg=01;35:*.gif=01;35:*.bmp=01;35:*.pbm=01;35:*.pgm=01;35:*.ppm=01;35:*.tga=01;35:*.xbm=01;35:*.xpm=01;35:*.tif=01;35:*.tiff=01;35:*.png=01;35:*.svg=01;35:*.mng=01;35:*.pcx=01;35:*.mov=01;35:*.mpg=01;35:*.mpeg=01;35:*.m2v=01;35:*.mkv=01;35:*.ogm=01;35:*.mp4=01;35:*.m4v=01;35:*.mp4v=01;35:*.vob=01;35:*.qt=01;35:*.nuv=01;35:*.wmv=01;35:*.asf=01;35:*.rm=01;35:*.rmvb=01;35:*.flc=01;35:*.avi=01;35:*.fli=01;35:*.gl=01;35:*.dl=01;35:*.xcf=01;35:*.xwd=01;35:*.yuv=01;35:*.aac=00;36:*.au=00;36:*.flac=00;36:*.mid=00;36:*.midi=00;36:*.mka=00;36:*.mp3=00;36:*.mpc=00;36:*.ogg=00;36:*.ra=00;36:*.wav=00;36:' + MACHTYPE=i486-pc-linux-gnu ./acfortran.at:12: exit code was 1, expected 0 --- 8< ---------------------------------------------------------------- The same thing happens for tag v2.61a.
