That's exactly what I do. Prima is found on CPAN, builds fine, runs tests without X11 also fine, just noone does "make install". And I also feel that "broken and sends harmful reports" describes situation as I see it. Moreover, I did ask the owner. I don't know _what_ else if left to do.

btw, thanks all for advices, but they aren't applicable - Devel::CheckLib does C libs, while Prima is a perl module. The only solution I see is indeed to check explicitly for Prima, but that's counter-productive, why should I protect against broken testing envirionment?
