Volodya, is this something we should hold the beta for, or can it wait until the release? I have just tried on Kubuntu 8.04, using dash as shell, and tests still do work. So, I still think local misconfiguration is a likely reason, and that we should not delay beta. We should be able to figure this for the final release.
Yep - it was me being dumb - I'd managed to lose PATH update that put the freshly built bjam on the path, so I was picking up the system one. The tests are now running - I'll check over the results and post if there are any unexpected failures, but that isn't going to be anytime soon :-) There are a couple of minor updates that should be put in (probably for 1.42) regarding the documentation for building and running the tests in tools/regression/doc/library_status.html: * the wrong path for library_test and library_test_all * mangled HTML in the formatted pages: * ../bin.v2/libs/test/<library%gt;/... * ../libs/%lt;library%gt;/example * the "preliminaries" suggest that the tools are built by just invoking bjam in the tools/regression/build directory: this only builds process_jam_log. It didn't build library_status (had to explicitly build it). Apologies for the misleading error report! Phil -- Phil Richards, <news@derived-software.ltd.uk>
