I have done this install on quite a few machines. Honestly, i have never had a machine pass all of the tests, and often have it fail all tests and still work correctly once installed. I would make install the code into a private dir, and whip up a quick login/select script to test it. My most common cause for errors in tests is something in the %ENV, usually LD_LIBRARY_PATH (Solaris) or SYBASE. Incase you run into DBD::Sybase scripts which will not run from cron, or appear to die at the connect call, i usually end up adding something like the following (on Solaris) :

BEGIN {
    $ENV{LD_LIBRARY_PATH} = "$ENV{SYBASE}/lib:$ENV{LD_LIBRARY_PATH}";
}

which is also a fix for the test fails i believe.
OH, a sarcasm detector, that’s really useful
