Re: Fink svn 0.27.0 now doesn't run make check

Hi Blair

Thanks for you feedback.

Yes. That happened with the last revision update. The problem is that
the tests are picking up the libraries install in /sw/lib instead of
the just built ones. This leads to problems if the user is upgrading
e.g. from version 0.26.0 since the libraries are not compatible.

Quite a few other users of subversion have already complained about
this behavior and it seems to be related to certain libtool
configurations. (see e.g.
<http://www.contactor.se/~dast/svn/archive-2003-08/0066.shtml>). I
didn't find a solution to this problem yet. That's way I disabled the
tests. If anybody could help me here, that would be great!

Me too.

Asking the user might be a possibility. However, I normally think it is
better to have no user interaction during a package compile. What do
the others think?
