Using the fink packaging that I maintain for guile: http://fink.cvs.sf.net/viewvc/fink/experimental/fangism/finkinfo/guile20.info?revision=1.15&view=markup I get a few test failures on powerpc-darwin8, complete test log: http://paste.lisp.org/display/127426 FAIL: i18n.test: character mapping: char-locale-upcase Turkish FAIL: i18n.test: character mapping: char-locale-downcase Turkish FAIL: i18n.test: string mapping: string-locale-upcase Turkish FAIL: i18n.test: string mapping: string-locale-downcase Turkish FAIL: net-db.test: getaddrinfo: wrong service name ERROR: regexp.test: regexp-quote: regexp/extended: (char 254 #\þ "þ") - arguments: ((regular-expression-syntax "make-regexp" "empty (sub)expression" #f ("þ"))) FAIL: regexp.test: regexp-quote: regexp/extended: (string "aX" 254 #\þ "aþ" "aþ") FAIL: regexp.test: regexp-quote: regexp/extended: string of all chars Totals for this test run: passes: 34818 failures: 7 unexpected passes: 0 expected failures: 30 unresolved test cases: 37 untested test cases: 1 unsupported test cases: 15 errors: 1 Most of these failures are not new and have been around a while. Let me know what other information I can provide about these tests in my build environment. Thanks for guile! Fang
