132 <para>
133 The test suite must be run separately from the build, either before or
134 after the package is built and installed. Do not run
135 <command>make install</command> after running the test suite. To build
136 and install the package, you need to start with a fresh or clean source
137 tree. For the tests, you also need a clean source code, so either start by
138 removing the source code directory and starting over, by uncompressing
139 the source tarball or by running <command>make clean</command>. Then
140 configure again, adding <quote>--with-pydebug</quote> to the
141 <command>configure</command> switches above, run <command>make</command>,
142 then <command>make test</command>. Remember that tests must be executed
143 using an X terminal. Two tests fail. The test SBU highly depends on the
144 speed of the internet connection.
