Hello, test_file fails at this end. It seems that it tries to create a '/tmp/tt' file, but it fails. This is so because my temp directory is at '/windows/temp' not '/tmp'. If I correctly understand this problem, then find attached a fix that got the test to pass. Hope that helps. Regards, Khalid PS. In case the developers here are interested to know, all the tests pass now on this box, including the JAVA and LISP ones which are made to use Jikes (version 1.20) and GNU CLISP (version 2.33) on Win98, MinGW built Python 2.3.5.0 (from CVS), and GCC 3.4.2 (MinGW special).
