To the list,
I am responding to my own post of 2 days ago because I found the
answer by experimentation and it may be useful to others.
The advice to run "make check" as a non-root user was correct but
very incomplete. What worked for me was to do the whole thing from
scratch as a non-root user: set up a user id for svn, extract the
tar file into a folder owned by that user, do the configure and make
as that user. Then all tests in the make check pass. The I guess
you just need to become root to do the make install.
I think this should be put in the FAQ.
