Just from the side...

Dear people in charge,
I have been spending a lot of time today trying to install Monet on Leopard 10.5.4, 64 bit, core 2 duo.
Before I did anything with the cvs, I tried to work with the Super tarball version. Compiling was not a problem but the tests were not installed and I was not too sure wether everything is working. I thus wanted to install it properly:
How did you try to "test"? What was the error you got which made you conclude that the tests weren't included?
I checked out the latest version (friday I assume) from the cvs. bootstrap and configure worked fine, but I had problems with the compiling.
I tried gcc4.1 (apple) and gcc4.2 (apple) (Yes, I recompiled my c- compiler!). Both of them returned the attached error.
Apple never released any 4.1 compiler (only 4.0.1 and very recently 4.2.1 from Xcode Tools 3.1 -- a few revisions later than the beta versions)
I am not sure wether this is my mistake or some weird code, but as I was able to compile the tarball version I assume its something in the code.

No. The MonetDB sources aren't tested on Leopard on a daily basis, and this change/code in particular isn't at all. I tried it on Tiger, but didn't care to check on Leopard.
