[solved in git] phoronix-test-suite: how to get it working?

Cdh · 2009-11-17 20:18:48

I installed it and it does not really work.

[chris@chrispc ~]$ phoronix-test-suite system-info

This is the most clear output I got until now. Note that the output is already messed with errors.

I can't list the tests:

[chris@chrispc ~]$ phoronix-test-suite list-tests

I actually was able to download a test:

But it is not really working:

and it aborts.

And of course I can't start the gui because there is no working php-gtk (php-gtk in AUR depends on php <5.3)

phoronix-test-suite seems to be in much worse condition than most of the software in AUR, yet it is in community.

Am I doing it wrong or is phoronix-test-suite really hardly working?

All those errors stem from the fact that PTS (wrongly) assumes the PHP glob() function always returns an array, when it can also return false. For some reason, glob() on your system returns false, and that breaks every piece of code in PTS that expects it to return an array, even if it's empty.

Edit: wow, it's been reported 9 months ago, and the bugs are still there

CdH, the author is asking for your input on the matter.

$ pacman -Q php
php 5.3.0-5

php.ini is all default except for fix pathinfo which is needed for lighttpd to run php as fastcgi:
http://omploader.org/vMnQzdQ

(don't want to register there just for the single post... I guess he reads this thread too when it is linked to here)

edit:
I tried the .tar.gz from http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/?k=downloads
It works a bit better:

[chris@chrispc ~]$ phoronix-test-suite system-info

====================================

My Desktop is not kde but xfce without login manager but that's not so important.

All the other errors still remain.

edit2:
I downloaded the git version
git-clone http://www.phorogit.com/repo/phoronix-test-suite.git
(actually a typo? git-clone instead of git clone?)
And it seems to work. First time running phoronix-test-suite system-info gave the messed up output but since then it works.

I would suggest putting a recent git build in the repos.
