bug#6661: test "install/install-C" fails on Mac OS X 10.6.4

[Richard Godbee]

When I build coreutils 8.5 on Mac OS X 10.6.4, test "install/install-C" fails.

"/rr" lives on a case-preserving but case-insensitive HFS+ filesystem.

I ran "make" and "make check" as a non-root user.

I would be happy to supply additional information as needed.

When I build coreutils 8.5 on Mac OS X 10.6.4, test "install/install-C" fails.

It seems your message was lost and not answered to in many many years.
Sorry about that.

Both coreutils 8,.5 and Mac OS X 10.6.4 are very old,
and we've had successful compilation reports with newer versions of both.

As such, I'm closing this bug (despite not being resolved).

If you still experience issues with building coreutils on mac,
please do reply to this thread.
