Re: regression test

Regarding regression tests in my machine.

My box is a linux i386 Pentium III, RedHat 7.3

I was able to run the regression tests. I have got 3 tests failed
during my run. See below.

parallel group (20 tests): comments lseg type_sanity box reltime polygon
tinterval date point time circle path tim
etz abstime interval opr_sanity oidjoins inet timestamp timestamptz
point ... ok
lseg ... ok
box ... ok
path ... ok
polygon ... ok
circle ... ok
date ... ok
time ... ok
timetz ... ok
timestamp ... ok
timestamptz ... ok
interval ... ok
abstime ... FAILED
reltime ... ok
tinterval ... FAILED
inet ... ok
comments ... ok
oidjoins ... ok
type_sanity ... ok
opr_sanity ... ok
test geometry ... ok
test horology ... FAILED
test create_function_1 ... ok
test create_type ... ok
test create_table ... ok
test create_function_2 ... ok
test copy ... ok

Looking and inspecting the regression.diffs I have got lots of things
which I don't understand.

I have attached the regression.diffs . Can I make sure my PG is properly
installed in this way, having 3 steps failed ? Is this something to do
with my Linux OS or PG ?
