Ubuntu install, make check fails on test_mblock

Hi all-

I’m following the instructions at
http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/UbuntuInstall.

Hardware is an HP/Compaq nc6230 laptop.
Ubuntu Fiesty Fawn

uname -a gives:
2.6.20-15-generic #2 SMP Sun Apr 15 07:36:31 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

Install seemed to go smoothly, but make check fails on the test_mblock
step:

[lots of successful tests…]

FAIL: test_mblock

I was hoping to get some clarification / explanation of this. Any ideas?

Hi Steven,

Looks like I need to loosen up the acceptable margin on this
particular test. It tests timer events. The failure is not critical.
It expected to receive a message in 0.075 seconds, but got it in 0.093
seconds.

I’ve opened ticket:175 on this.
