92 If you can't wait 12 hours or so you may want to skip ahead to
93 <xref linkend="bdb-installation"/>. The test suite can take a long time
94 and has a few bugs causing a report of <quote>Regression tests
95 failed</quote>. However, running the test suite is a very exhaustive test
96 of your hardware, perhaps pushing your machine harder (especially disk
97 I/O) than it will ever see during production use. Note that you must have
98 <application>Tcl</application> installed to run the test suite.

153 If you plan on installing <application>Berkeley DB</application> with
154 Java support, you should check the system for certain versions of
155 <xref linkend="jdk"/> and <xref linkend="gmime"/>. Specifically,
156 if <application>JDK</application>-6 Update X and the
157 <command>uudecode</command> program from the
158 <application>GMime</application> program is on the system, the build
159 will fail (unless you run the modified <command>./configure</command>
160 command shown below). You can run two commands
161 (<command>javac -version</command> and
162 <command>uudecode -&#45;version</command>) to determine what versions are
163 installed. You can also download and run a shell script from
164 <ulink url="&files-anduin;/jdk-uudecode-check.sh"/> that will alert you
165 to a non-working condition. If the identified programs exist on the
166 system, you must modify the <command>./configure</command> command as
167 shown below.
