Leptonica fails all regression tests


When I try installing building Leptonica 1.72 downloaded from their website: http://www.leptonica.com/download.html using the default installation route:

./configure
make
make check

I got 64/67 tests failed. I looked into this problem and installed some missing dependencies and when I tried building and checking again, 68/68 tests failed this time. Has anyone had the same problem? Where should I look to find the problem?


Solution

  • The problem turned out to be that I needed root permissions to run the tests.

    sudo make check
    

    and all 68 tests passed. I'll look more into why I got the problem( maybe because I built with root permissions and then when I tested it without them, couldn't access the root-created test files and fails the tests. )

    Tip: build without root permissions and only run with root permissions

    make install
