[Pytables-users] failed test

[Peter D. <pe...@cs...>]

Hi,

I just started playing with pytables. Nice product, thank you for it.

I would like to use it for storing a huge and ever growing collection of
combinatorial/statistical designs. At the moment they are in bzip2-ed
xml files at http://designtheory.org.

While installing pytables some of the numarray related tests failed on
an Opteron based machine. I installed both 1.1 and 1.2-b1 with the same
result. On the i686 platform all tests succeeded for both versions.

Here is the failed test output:

Performing only a light (yet comprehensive) subset of the test
suite.  If you have a big system and lots of CPU to waste and want to
do a more complete test, try passing the --heavy flag to this script.
The whole suite will take more than 10 minutes to complete on a
relatively modern CPU and around 100 MB of main memory.
