4.5. "make check" fails
- A likely reason is that libtool links the test programs against

+ If the other tests pass but test_scripts.sh fails, then the problem

+ tests/xzgrep_test_output to tests/xzgrep_expected_output might
+ give a good idea about problems in xzgrep. One possibility is that
+ some tools are missing from the current PATH or the tools lack
+ support for some POSIX features. This can happen at least on
+ Solaris where the tools in /bin may be ancient but good enough
+ tools are available in /usr/xpg4/bin or /usr/xpg6/bin. One fix

a bug in XZ Utils or in the compiler. See the platform-specific
notes in this file for possible known problems. Please report
a bug if you cannot solve the problem. See README for contact
