Hi Vladimir,

as Karl has said the whole output is logged in ./Work/build.log (provided
you have used ./Build).  The final output says that from the 47 tests run
from Work/texk/web2c/, one was skipped (rc=77) and 12 have failed (rc
neither 77 nor 0).  For each passed test there is a line 'PASS <test_name>',
for failed or skipped tests 'PASS' is replaced by 'FAIL' or 'SKIP' (all that
is described in the Automake manual).  Most of the tests are just shell
scripts.

================================

I did a quick check and it seems the poppler+aix problem is still present in
poppler-0.16.6.  So please report the problem to the poppler maintainers,
then it might be fixed in future versions.

Regards
Peter
