| This is driving me batty. I must be missing something simple. I have downloaded and compiled glib2 2.31.0. That took quite a while because I first had to download and install expat and GNU gettxt. Those libraries compiled fine and passed their make check tests. However, glib2 fails the GDateTime "make check" tests (e.g., /GDateTime/equal). It seems not to be reading any of the time zone info files in /usr/share/zoneinfo. The America/Recife tzinfo file used by the /GDateTime/equal test is there: $ ls -l /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Recife -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 276 Dec 5 2007 /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Recife I tried defining the TZDIR envonment variable, but that did not help. For example, $ TZDIR=/usr/share/zoneinfo glib/tests/gdatetime I added a couple printf()'s in the test that fails (in glib/tests/gdatetime.c), which show that the time zone structure is coming back as UTC: $ TZDIR=/usr/share/zoneinfo glib/tests/gdatetime /GDateTime/add_days: OK /GDateTime/add_full: OK /GDateTime/add_hours: OK /GDateTime/add_minutes: OK /GDateTime/add_months: OK /GDateTime/add_seconds: OK /GDateTime/add_weeks: OK /GDateTime/add_years: OK /GDateTime/compare: OK /GDateTime/diff: OK /GDateTime/equal: --->America/Recife time zone abbreviation: UTC --->UTC offset: 0 ** ERROR:gdatetime.c:196:test_GDateTime_equal: assertion failed (g_date_time_get_utc_offset (dt1) / G_USEC_PER_SEC == (-3 * 3600)): (0 == -10800) Abort trap I don't actually plan to use the GDateTime routines; I don't plan to use glib2 at all (though I would like to experiment with it some time). All I'm trying to do is compile the ARM QEMU emulators. I just don't like it when make check's fail. I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.8, Xcode 3.1.3, but I don't think that matters. $ uname -a Darwin savaii.wr.usgs.gov 9.8.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.8.0: Wed Jul 15 16:55:01 PDT 2009; root:xnu-1228.15.4~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 $ gcc -v Using built-in specs.
