Make test failure

[eric.hill]

I'm doing some testing with Ice on linux. I successfully built the source package (literally zero problems! ) and was running the tests when I experienced an error with an IceGrid test...

It looks like the test fails when creating a directory, but I'm running on this machine as root and have complete ownership of the files. In addition, I can manually create the directory, so I'm not quite sure where the problem is.

I (obviously) don't need the tests to complete to be able to work with Ice.

FWIW, this is a debian linux distro on the 2.6.8-2-686 kernel with gcc 3.3.5.

I have same problem with test on Gentoo. (kernel 2.6.12 r4, gcc 4.1.1, glib with nptl)

Hi eric

I think that the problem is that you don't set the user attribute in the icebox descriptor, this is the user that's run icegridnode. By default in Ice-3.1.0 if you run icegridnode as root it use nobody as user.
you can read Benoit answer for a similar question in this thread

Hope this help
