Your site.exp file is invalid; this is a bug in Automake rather than a bug in DejaGnu. The version of Automake that produced the Makefile.in that you are using mishandles filenames containing spaces. Tcl requires a value containing spaces to be properly quoted in a "set" command, and Automake is producing a site.exp that does not contain those quotes for the objdir variable. An immediate workaround is to run `sed -e '/^set [^ ]*dir [^"]/{s/dir /&"/;s/$/"/}' -i site.exp` (tested with GNU sed) to fix your site.exp file, or to avoid building in a directory where the absolute filename contains spaces. Additionally, as of commit b53b22c29880f785ae5e9e1c72925d2583a4c76d (after 1.6.2 was released) DejaGnu no longer loads site.exp when invoked with the --version option. Please try regenerating your Makefile.in with a newer Automake or report this as a bug in Automake if you are already using the latest version. I am closing this report as NOTOURBUG. -- Jacob From debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Thu Nov 12 11:09:46 2020 Received: (at submit) by debbugs.gnu.org; 12 Nov 2020 16:09:46 +0000 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:45412 helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1kdFAP-0007DM-0r for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Thu, 12 Nov 2020 11:09:46 -0500 Received: from lists.gnu.org ([209.51.188.17]:37624) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1kdCkm-00035E-7c for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Thu, 12 Nov 2020 08:35:11 -0500 Received: from eggs.gnu.org ([2001:470:142:3::10]:51912) by lists.gnu.org with esmtps (TLS1.2:ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:256) (Exim 4.90_1) (envelope-from ) id 1kdCkm-0005uJ-0s for bug-dejagnu@gnu.org; Thu, 12 Nov 2020 08:35:08 -0500 Received: from st43p00im-zteg10073501.me.com ([17.58.63.180]:48698) by eggs.gnu.org with esmtps (TLS1.2:ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:256) (Exim 4.90_1) (envelope-from ) id 1kdCkj-0005Os-OZ for bug-dejagnu@gnu.org; Thu, 12 Nov 2020 08:35:07 -0500 DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=mac.com; s=1a1hai; t=1605188103; bh=du00viAvEAxcaufFpZBKYiVx6Z3LTOJOkGFkCUXgUv4=; h=Content-Type:Mime-Version:Subject:From:Date:Message-Id:To; b=lb8uIYaINDkY5go9IBJJOf/NxaRJkR1XkjxePaAf2z8KtA9L8LAzPsXlPkHp79ze8 H4ZK70svudNBeJmwxDZOdRibDIZcQgwO659GMunhK4ucWqCqSzCNAGC5WBipP1ZeRf KbJElBelv25S9aTX8lP+nKzzgWVQ3GgOGy8cGI1/XG822S2LJmzybNi+x4enFEhSaF 0IcAIa3rVNKfyMREkEAU/Eh+mHC5c5rdShjIySZ9163vju+y+XILXdY7846JdUb+t0 5i+EruXxdiq6qiQ6YofZHspeEHG9eXphncr2BOYNgEavZGyLg2KxjRq5Mp4sSDMnR0 vvENWtZsNwfog== Received: from [192.168.0.18] (nc-71-50-141-172.dyn.embarqhsd.net [71.50.141.172]) by st43p00im-zteg10073501.me.com (Postfix) with ESMTPSA id CF14EAE043D; Thu, 12 Nov 2020 13:35:02 +0000 (UTC) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Mime-Version: 1.0 (Mac OS X Mail 13.4 \(3608.120.23.2.4\)) Subject: Re: bug#44580: DejaGnu runtest not found of site.exp exists From: Robert Menteer In-Reply-To: <5FACA449.5050909@gmail.com> Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2020 08:35:01 -0500 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Message-Id: <4F056DB8-EB10-4DCE-B644-51114B872B04@mac.com> References: <25EB19DB-37B6-4B5D-BDAE-1271674F1A34@mac.com> <5FACA449.5050909@gmail.com> To: jcb62281@gmail.com X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.3608.120.23.2.4) X-Proofpoint-Virus-Version: vendor=fsecure engine=2.50.10434:6.0.312, 18.0.737 definitions=2020-11-12_05:2020-11-12, 2020-11-12 signatures=0 X-Proofpoint-Spam-Details: rule=notspam policy=default score=0 suspectscore=15 malwarescore=0 phishscore=0 bulkscore=0 spamscore=0 clxscore=1011 mlxscore=0 mlxlogscore=999 adultscore=0 classifier=spam adjust=0 reason=mlx scancount=1 engine=8.0.1-2006250000 definitions=main-2011120081 Received-SPF: pass client-ip=17.58.63.180; envelope-from=reetnem@mac.com; helo=st43p00im-zteg10073501.me.com X-detected-operating-system: by eggs.gnu.org: First seen = 2020/11/12 08:35:04 X-ACL-Warn: Detected OS = Linux 3.11 and newer X-Spam_score_int: -20 X-Spam_score: -2.1 X-Spam_bar: -- X-Spam_report: (-2.1 / 5.0 requ) BAYES_00=-1.9, DKIM_SIGNED=0.1, DKIM_VALID=-0.1, DKIM_VALID_AU=-0.1, DKIM_VALID_EF=-0.1, FREEMAIL_FROM=0.001, RCVD_IN_MSPIKE_H2=-0.001, SPF_HELO_NONE=0.001, SPF_PASS=-0.001 autolearn=ham autolearn_force=no X-Spam_action: no action X-Spam-Score: -1.3 (-) X-Debbugs-Envelope-To: submit X-Mailman-Approved-At: Thu, 12 Nov 2020 11:09:43 -0500 Cc: Robert Menteer via Bug-dejagnu , 44580-done@debbugs.gnu.org X-BeenThere: debbugs-submit@debbugs.gnu.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.18 Precedence: list List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Sender: "Debbugs-submit" X-Spam-Score: -2.3 (--) Jacob, Thank you for the quick response.
