Ok, so I had a few problems. But... I look in op/coreamp.t and there are no numbers... how do I count tests in the file to see which one failed? How do you fail just 22/531660 tests? thats like (110/25683)% and the rest...hmm...dbm stuff.. I have gdbm rpms installed, but no ndbm, and no odbm, available ???? Are those older gdbm versions with compat options? Thanks for any pointers... (this was with a suse-config build BTW).... but the default build, if I remember correctly (ha!) has close to the same set of errors....
