BTW: I had some problems running the testsuite some weeks ago, because some autoconf'd stuff was missing. When building from the repository (*not* from the source tarballs), are there any additional steps beyond
sh boot ./configure --prefix=... gmake install

I'm not sure if running "gmake install" without first running "gmake" works. Also, note that if you are building the extralibs then you need to run "sh boot" after getting them.
I was sloppy in my mail. Actually I'm even building stage1 and stage2 explicitely before installing. From my script: nice time gmake stage1 nice time gmake stage2 nice time gmake install And my problem with the testsuite was a PEBKAC (of course): on OpenBSD, python is installed as python-2.3, python-2.4, python-2.5 (you can have several versions installed in parallel), which isn't found by configure, which in turn lets the testsuite bail out. Setting PythonCmd during configure fixed it. I've yet to evaluate the results of the testsuite. I'll post it in a few hours. Ciao, Kili
