OK - the situation is that you have a test that's failing. We don't know if the fault lies in Ruby, or in the test making assumptions that aren't true under FreeBSD. So, let's find out _why_ the test is failing. Could you insert the following at line 985 in your file sample/test.rb: test_ok(`./miniruby -x script_tmp` == 'nil') ADD>> $stderr.puts `./miniruby -x script_tmp -zzz=555`.inspect test_ok(`./miniruby -x script_tmp -zzz=555` == '555') and cut-n-paste the output from 'make test' back into an e-mail. Could you also show us what './ruby -v' says. Thanks Dave
