Greetings, I have built both Perl 5.8.8 and 5.9.4 on AIX 5.3 successfully, but I get one error in "make test". t/op/stat............................................# Failed at op/stat.t line 274 # got '3' # expected '2' FAILED at test 38 After running "perl harness" in the "t" directory, I get: Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail List of Failed ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- op/stat.t 95 1 38 (5 subtests UNEXPECTEDLY SUCCEEDED), 81 tests and 412 subtests skipped. Failed 1/1285 test scripts. 1/170188 subtests failed. Files=1285, Tests=170188, 682 wallclock secs (349.19 cusr + 65.03 csys = 414.22 CPU) Failed 1/1285 test programs. 1/170188 subtests failed. Make test on 5.8.8 also fails with this error in addition to the above error: ext/IO/t/io_sock..........................FAILED at test 15 ext/IO/t/IO...............................Can't run ../ext/IO/t/IO.t. Has anybody seen this before on this platform, and how do I proceed? Many thanks in advance. SGThread Next
