[Openexr-devel] make check failure

[Ken McGaugh]

Hello, I just started doing some work with the OpenEXR libraries
and I am new to this list.

I have to build the libraries for different compiler versions
under redhat linux 7.3.  Everything works fine using the default
gcc version 2.96, but unfortunately I have to use 2.95.1 for
shake.  We cannot actually get the 2.95.1 compiler to compile,
so we are trying 2.95.3.  The 1.0.7 libraries compile just fine
with only a couple of warnings.  But running "make check" fails
running IexTest/testBaseExc.cpp.  It also fails in ImathTest when
testing the exception handling there.

I searched the mailing list archives and saw that there were
some known issues using gcc 2.95.  Is this one of them?  Does
anybody know how to get exceptions working correctly using 2.95?

While on the topic of "make check" failing, I noticed that it fails
in IlmImfTest/testMagic.cpp if you configure and build the libraries
from a different directory.  I assume this is because it cannot find
the test files.  FYI.

Many thanks in advance.
