Description ¶
The warning in Berkeley db in blfs is apparently not important enough since it's designd as the same text around.
The test suite can take up to 150 SBUs and has a few bugs causing a report of “Regression tests failed”. However, running the test suite is a very exhaustive test of your hardware, perhaps pushing your machine harder (especially disk I/O) than it will ever see during production use. Note that you must have Tcl installed to run the test suite.
I suggest to move the Testing Berkeley DB section behind the installation instructions and to emphasize this.

See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
The text isn't designed to be a 'warning'. It is just there as an explanation of the testing process. It is up to each individual builder to decide if she wishes to run the tests. It is optional.
And I'll have to disagree with you that the tests should be after the installation.
