 Running unit tests
 </H2>
 	ClamAV includes unit tests that allow you to test that the compiled binaries work correctly on your platform.
 
 <P>
 The first step is to use your OS's package manager to install the <code>check</code> package. 
ee93a07e
 	If your OS doesn't have that package, you can download it from <TT><A NAME="tex2html8"
96e05490
   HREF="http://check.sourceforge.net/">http://check.sourceforge.net/</A></TT>, 
 	build it and install it.
73e034df
 
 <P>
96e05490
 To help clamav's configure script locate <code>check</code>, it is recommended that you install <code>pkg-config</code>, preferably
ee93a07e
 	using your OS's package manager, or from <TT><A NAME="tex2html9"
96e05490
   HREF="http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org">http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org</A></TT>.
 
 <P>
 The recommended way to run unit-tests is the following, which ensures you will get an error if unit tests cannot be built:
ee93a07e
 	<A NAME="tex2html10"
   HREF="footnode.html#foot155"><SUP><SPAN CLASS="arabic">4</SPAN></SUP></A>	<PRE>
96e05490
 	 $ ./configure --enable-check
 	 $ make
 	 $ make check
 </PRE>
 
 <P>
 When <code>make check</code> is finished, you should get a message similar to this:
 	<PRE>
 ==================
 All 5 tests passed
 ==================
 </PRE>
 
 <P>
 If a unit test fails, you get a message similar to the following. 
 	See the next section on how to report a bug when a unit test fails.
 	<PRE>
 ========================================
 1 of 5 tests failed
 Please report to http://bugs.clamav.net/
 ========================================
 </PRE>
 
 <P>
 If unit tests are disabled (and you didn't use -enable-check), you will get this message:
 	<PRE>
 *** Unit tests disabled in this build
 *** Use ./configure --enable-check to enable them
 
 SKIP: check_clamav
 PASS: check_clamd.sh
 PASS: check_freshclam.sh
 PASS: check_sigtool.sh
 PASS: check_clamscan.sh
 ======================
 All 4 tests passed
 (1 tests were not run)
 ======================
 </PRE>
 	Running <code>./configure --enable-check</code> should tell you why.
 
 <P>
