Re: About dogtail on x86 and ppc64

[Len DiMaggio <ldimaggi at redhat dot com>]

'Afternoon Wu,

  I was just able to build pyspi and dogtail from CVS and run the 
"gedit-test-utf8-procedural-api.py" sample script on a PPC (uname -a = 
Linux i5-lp5.test.redhat.com 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 #1 SMP Tue Mar 14 
15:57:06 EST 2006 ppc64 ppc64 ppc64 GNU/Linu) system.

  The only error that I encountered was a known, but not let logged bug 
about warning messages being displayed when a test exits:  
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347327

  Have you tried building pyspi and dogtail from CVS head?
