6.16. Coreutils-6.9 errors...
 

I'm currently reading: Linux From Scratch - Version 6.3, Chapter 6. Installing Basic System Software, 6.16. Coreutils-6.9 and using ubuntu as my host.

I'm currently at the su-tools nobody -s /bin/bash -c "make RUN_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=yes check" stage of the 6.16. Coreutils-6.9 build. When I run that command I get the following:

All 29 tests passed
(3 tests were not run)

Why am I getting Permission denied? I'm executing that command as root(root:/sources/coreutils-6.9#).

Also, are those errors something to be worried about?


-Thanks,

Hi rcg1984,

just a thought, did you set the permissions to allow the test script/s to run?

chmod +x tests/sort/sort-mb-tests

These tests are not critical and can generally skipped.

I believe I ran that command since I read through that chapter a few times retyping the commands and pasting the commands in so there wouldn't be any typos. I also searched google and noticed a website(forgot which one) mentioned those errors are not critical so I skipped them and moved on to the next without any issues :-)

Thank you for responding to my thread
