I tried this test on an older Mac: OS X 10.4 on Darwin. I did not get
any outright failures because one test is SKIPped and another is
expected to fail and hence is TODOed out.

$ prove -v t/examples/library.t
t/examples/library....
1..4
ok 1 - examples/library/getopt_demo.pir
ok 2 - examples/library/md5sum.pir
ok 3 # SKIP no pcre-config
not ok 4 - ncurses_life.pir # TODO ncurses_life.pir not testable yet

# Failed (TODO) test 'ncurses_life.pir'
# at t/examples/library.t line 77.
ok
All tests successful.
Files=1, Tests=4, 6 wallclock secs ( 0.04 usr 0.02 sys + 0.41 cusr
0.28 csys = 0.75 CPU)
Result: PASS


Could you post the output of prove -v on this file?

Thank you very much.

The Perl 5 test code tries to see if PCRE is installed with:

my $has_pcre = Parrot::Test::run_command( $cmd, STDERR =>
File::Spec->devnull() ) == 0;

Apparently on your system, this succeeds, but loading libpcre fails. The test
code in t/examples/library.t should probably catch this exception and abort
cleanly.

This appears to be the same issue as reported in RT 59112, so I am going
to merge this ticket into that.
