Forum: Ruby ruby make test error

After building ruby from source I got the following error with, "make 
test"

PASS all 950 tests

I am building on Linux x86, how do I fix the 1/2 fail? thanks!

That file is called KNOWNBUGS.rb and contains the comment:

# This test file concludes tests which point out known bugs.
# So all tests will cause failure.

So I wouldn't expect them to pass :)

Kind of curious why KNOWNBUGS.rb would be included in the standard
make test recipe, then, no?

Eric, thanks for pointing that out, this is something new which i have
never seen in the past building ruby.

I personally think there should be a separate test file for all known 
bugs,
and have something like a "make test bugs" to run failing test cases :)

This way the average guy won't think there's something wrong with there
ruby built from source.
