Hi,

I'm trying to run roundup 0.7.6 on Solaris 8. I get

$ python run_tests.py 
Running unit tests at level 1
Running unit tests from
/home/proj1181/bug-tracking/roundup-0.7.6/.

OK

run_tests.sh should probably catch this error.

Also, does that error mean our python installation is
faulty/incomplete? FWIW, it is
Python 2.3.3 (#2, Mar 10 2004, 06:28:28) 
[GCC 3.3.2] on sunos5

Yes, you're correct - the tests shouldn't report that as OK. 
 
The error indicates your Python install is broken. You should be 
able to "import anydbm" in Python. Looks like your system is 
missing a berkeley DB install.

Unfortunately, it's out of my hands without rewriting the test 
runner, which I'd really rather not do.
