I hope this report is useful to you.
I ran configure --prefix=ONETHING --exec-prefix=ANOTHERDIR
make
make test and got two errors (see below).,
As the errors will show, I was attempting to build/install in AFS.
Alright, so I took a closer look at this. Couple of things.
- When I did it the first time, I got some test failures because I was
using the "short" (/afs/cell) pathname but the test output returned
stuff based on the output of pwd, which returned /afs/cell.domain.name/...
Once I changed to the fully-qualified name, I passed all tests but one.
So I don't know why the slocal test failed for you, but since you're using
the dot path it may be related to that.
- The refile test is failing because AFS does not support cross-directory
hard links. There is a thing in the test suite that checks for
that, but it only checks for same-directory hard links (which works
fine on AFS). So that's a bug in the test suite I can fix. You can
ignore that for now.
