                    unclear warning
           Product: systemtap
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: testsuite

#make installcheck refuses to start, gives: 
exit $exit_status

But prlimit is installed (util-linux) and the directories mentioned in the
environment settings above appear to be present. So the cause of failure is not
clear.

Might this symptom result from the seemingly-unrelated errors concerning
jupyter-install from `sudo make install` (the ./configure PREFIX was /usr ) ?


Notes:
(1) systemtap 5.6-pre-relese (repo cloned 27/June/2026)

(2) The make worked OK (make.log is attached)

(3) `sudo make install` reported errors relating to jupyter-notebook
    This component jupyter-notebook is not installed, and not listed as a
requirement.
    It is unclear whether these errors cause `make installcheck` to refuse to
start.
    Attached file: sudo_make_install.log.


(4) The entire screen output of `make installcheck` as root is below:
