The build looks ok although the -perl embed.pl script running has reared its ugly head again. The test t/op/study.t hangs `make test` rather hard. The only way around that at this time appears to be get the test out of the way: mv t/op/study.t t/op/study.p then continue: make test The failures I now see look like so: op/pat.............................CEE5213S The signal SIGPIPE was received.
