[New-bugs-announce] [issue9918] Installation "make test", two fails if non-ascii path

[ingemar]

New submission from ingemar <ingemar at sijohansson.com>:

I am using Kubuntu 10.4 on a no-brand box with a 64-bit CPU.
I use my own download and install of Python 3.1, SIP and PyQt.

The default download directory as set up by the Kubuntu install is /home/ingemar/Hämtningar,
where "Hämtningar" is Swedish and corresponds to "Download". 
This is where the download of Python-3.1.2.tar.bz2 gets stored by default.
And this is where I let Krusader store the Python-3.1.2 folder that it pulls out of the bz2.
So I step into that folder and run ./configure,  make,  make test,  -- whoops, two tests fail:

Those two test don't like the Swedish dotted character "ä" in the folder name.
I renamed the folder into pure ASCII and restarted: 
./configure,  make,  make test,  sudo make install.
Everything worked as expected:
.....
314 tests OK.
22 tests skipped:
