OpenSAML user discussion

[Albert Lunde <>]

I think I'm getting an error running "signtest" at the end of building 
OpenSAML. However the instructions in the INSTALL document are brief enough, 
that I'm not sure I'm even using it in the intended fashion.

This is on RedHat 9.0 Linux, but I've re-built some dependencies like OpenSSL 
and libcurl from source in a directory tree off to one side.

These are my notes from the end of the build, after running make:

Signtest seems to expect arguments:

So I ran the script "tester", in hopes this was an intended test case:

This looks like a failure, but I don't really know if this is the intended 
way to run a test.
