Re: [Bashdb-devel] make check fails (OS X)

[Rocky B. <roc...@gm...>]

This message
  bashdb: cannot read .  Perhaps bashdb is installed wrong.

means bashdb can't  read the directory where it thinks bashdb is
(temporarily) installed. The -L option allows one to indicate where this
directory is. See around line 209 of the bashdb script.  I'll change the
wording on this error message to try to be more clear.

So in essence all of the tests are failing.. Sometimes this happens when the
"build" directory location is set incorrectly. There's lots of autotools
configuration magic that's supposed to make that work, but how to use
autoconf/automake has always been a great mystery to me.  In this regard I
generally use the Make Debugger/tracer (remake) that I wrote to help me
figure out what's going on, e.g. why the makefile thinks "." is the build
directory, etc.
