After lets call it "cd temp dir" modification the fail on my linux box : missing libpithon2.7. What is the buildbot trick as the test pass on all linux buildbots ?
It's not just on the buildbots, it passes fine on my Gentoo box. So the question really is, what's different about your box that makes it fail? Can you figure out what bit of code is not finding that library? How do you run the tests? Maybe that makes a difference.
I think that one difference is build outside source tree. Not sure that this is problem - the linker flags contain "... -L. -lpython2.7 ..." and after change into another directory(temp) library is no more in current directory. Right now I'm too busy to look again into details.
Hi All, The test always fails even builddir == srddir , with and without directory links in src-/build-path. $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd` ./python Python 2.7a0 (trunk:73046M, May 30 2009, 14:09:06) [GCC 4.2.4] on linux2 .... $ cat /tmp/pynexttest test_distutils The command to run test is: $ LC_ALL=C ./python -E -tt ./Lib/test/regrtest.py -l -v -s
