Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] make test failure at qa_constellation_receiver

[Curt Karnstedt]

After running some of the python scripts were listed in error message in the tracebacks, I ran the test again, and it passed.  It's like either some dependency or library got built or loaded after I was fooling around.  Test the theory, I rebuilt everything from scratch in a separate directory.  However, all the tests passed the first go around.  But then after tinkering a bit more, and running the unittest in the fresh build again, it failed  (the one that just passed).  I have't figured out what is going on.  I'm not a software person, but I am curious about this.  I did a 'make install' after I got all the unittests pass (before it failed again), so I "think" I have a working GnuRadio with a constellation_receiver now.  I'll try running again later.

Granted the constellation_receiver QA code is one of the more complex
tests we have, I've never heard of it segfaulting before.

Can you just run 'ctest -V -R constellation_receiver' again, maybe a
couple of times, to see if it always segfaults and if it provides more
detailed information about what's going on?
