nay ideas ??

After I have applied

* tests/check10.test: When a rule fails, Solaris make will
    output the complete command that failed; in this case the test
    suite driver.  Adjust the test to not bogusly match lines from
    the driver, rather than its output.

I get the same results. 

Maybe you have a quick idea why the test fails.

Hi Rainer,

Absolutely no problem. I am glad to help. Please feel free to contact me.
As I have access to almost any AIX level I can test many things...
    

What is the oldest and the newest AIX version you have access to?

  

The oldest would be 4.3.3 maintenance level 9 and the newest is 6.1 technology level .
According to IBM the supported AIX versions are AIX 5.2 / 5.3 and 6.1.

I have access to Visual Age C/C++ V6, XL C/C++ V8, V9 (V10 is on my desk, but not yet installed) and
gcc. Unfortunately I have not all compilers on AIX levels...

If you need a specific combination please ask. Maybe I can setup a LPAR with the requested combination.

Thanks,
Ralf
