Re: [ns] 21 validation errors under linux

[Padmaparna Haldar <haldar@ISI.EDU>]

When validation fails test results are written in files under 
tcl/test/test-out-<name of test suite>/name-of-test while the 
refernced output is stored at the same place as <name-of-test>.test

You can get a clue (e.g xgraph doesn't work) why the tests fail by 
checking the diffs.
You could also run individual test-suites directly from tcl/test dir as

./test-all-<name-of-testsuite> QUIET
