Can't get good make check results with dejagnu 1.4.4

  Hello. I'm using Mandriva 2008.1 Free Linux, have gcc 4.2.3, tcl/tk 
8.5.7, expect built from expect-20090714.tar.gz, and 
dejagnu-1.4.4.tar.gz. Dejagnu seems to build ok. But the "make check" 
command has massive errors with "runtest' being reported as not found. 
Runtest is in the top build folder and several tests find it. Why does 
your official release have this obvious problem? I've tried version 
1.4.3 and 1.4.2 with similar results. Who has built a recent dejagnu and 
successfully run the test suite with good results? Where is a corrected 
tarball I can download? Below is the typical result I get from running 
"make check", starting with processing the testsuite folder.
