Hi all, I’m trying to compile Ruby from the source using a biarch PPC64 system (64-bit kernel with mixed 32- and 64-bit apps). The source-code version that I have here is “ruby-1.8.6-p114”. I have compiled both PPC and PPC64 versions here, and run “make check” after. That’s a brief description of what I got: PPC: #\> ./configure --enable-shared #\> make #\> make check … 1665 tests, 16796 assertions, 3 failures, 50 errors make: \*\*\* [test-all] Error 1 PPC64: #\> CC=‘gcc -m64’ ./configure --enable-shared #\> make #\> make check … 1665 tests, 16779 assertions, 6 failures, 50 errors make: \*\*\* [test-all] Error 1 Of course, this information is very poor. I have a more detailed log here, but I’d like to know if it’s ok for some tests to fail. Also, I’d like to know if it’s the right mailing list to post these results :-). Thanks, ---

Even though, I’d like to know what would be a “correct” answer if I run “make check”. Is there any environment where all tests pass? Is it normal to get some tests failing, or should I worry about it? To avoid overtrafic, I pastebin’ed the two logs that I have here. They are: For PPC: [http://pastebin.com/f5abc2009](http://pastebin.com/f5abc2009) For PPC64: [http://pastebin.com/f7b2a87fa](http://pastebin.com/f7b2a87fa) (Please don’t consider the LD\_PRELOAD error message) Can you guys take a look at them? 🙂 Thanks in advance,
