Xapian devel - Feb 2014 - Test errors on fresh installation

Hi all,

            I installed xapian smoothly as per the guidelines mentioned in
the HACKING file. However, I am getting test errors on tests related to
python3 bindings after running them using `make check` on this fresh
installation. The log can be seen here <http://pastebin.com/bnsTFG2e>. Can
anyone here help me out to figure out why they are failing? Please let me
know if any more information is needed. Thank you.

There was a segfault in the Python3 tests due to a bug in SWIG,
but that was resolved about a week ago.  If you checked out your
source tree about that long ago, then I'd suggest you change directory
to the top level (inside only the xapian directory) and do:

git pull
make

That will fetch the latest version and rebuild anything that has
changed.

Then you can run just the python3 tests with:

cd xapian-bindings/python3
make check

If it's not that, then can you attach this log file from the tests:

/home/ankit/foss/xapian/xapian/xapian-bindings/python3/test-suite.log

Cheers,

Hi Olly,

       I updated my local repo and built it again, but still getting the
error. I took a look at python3/test-suite.log file, but I could not locate
the source of test failure. Please find attached the log file with this
email. I am available on IRC(nick : ankit_agrawal) if that seems a
convenient medium for you to help me out with this issue. Thanks.
