On macOS 10.15.7 with Xcode 12.4, gawk-lmdb 1.1.1 encounters these errors when running the tests:

Looks like there's just a slight difference between the error message you were expecting and the error message you got.

Hi, sorry for the slow response. As you say, this is most likely just a minor platform difference in error messages. Is this still a concern? I'm guessing the extension works OK. If it's causing trouble, we can try to get it fixed.

Regards,
Andy

Thanks for the bug report. I patched this test case, and the new release 1.1.3 should work on MacOS.
