[Quantlib-dev] 0.3.14 tests failing on alpha and ia64

[Dirk E. <ed...@de...>]

[ I had not enabled 'make check' in the Debian builds as, being called before
the libraries are fully installed, the binaries didn't find the shared
library.  I finally figured that out and have enabled it now.  Secondly, I
build the packages with the version number in the library name which makes
the package name 'new and unique' -- which required manual ftpmaster
approval.  So the newly enabled tests finally ran for the first time
yesterday after 0.3.14 joined the archive. ]

Good news: clean build on
	x86 
	amd64
	s390
	hppa
	mipps
	powerpc
	mipsel
	sparc

I could run some additional tests if it helped.  I haven't had time to look
closely, and intend to cover the failure by having make not fail on these.

Cheers, Dirk
