1. Getting an error if we provide --enable-tap-tests switch on SLES 12

   Hi,
   
   We found that if we provide *--enable-tap-tests * switch at the time of PG
   sources configuration,  getting this below error
   "
   checking for Perl modules required for TAP tests... Can't locate IPC/Run.pm
   in @INC (you may need to install the IPC::Run module) (@INC contains:
   /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi
   /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18.2
   /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.18.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi
   /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.18.2
   /usr/lib/perl5/5.18.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.18.2
   /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at ./config/check_modules.pl line 11.
   
   BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./config/check_modules.pl line 11.
   
   configure: error: Additional Perl modules are required to run TAP tests
   "
   
   look like this is happening because the Perl-IPC-Run package is not
   available on SLES 12 where Perl-IPC-Run3 is available.
   
   Srinu (my teammate) found that  IPC::Run is hard coded in config/
   check_modules.pl and if we replace Run to Run3 it works (patch is attached,
   created by Srinu)
   
   Do we have any better option to work without this workaround?
   
   regards,

   Hm. It's available in newer suse versions:
   https://scc.suse.com/packages/22892843

   I don't think that can work. The patch changes what configure tests, but none
   of the many uses of IPC::Run in the tests. And I don't think IPC::Run3
   actually provides all the features of IPC::Run we use.
   
   Have you actually tested running the tests with the patch applied?

   You could install the module via cpan :/.

   Yes but getting an errors like
   t/006_edb_current_audit_logfile.pl .. Can't locate IPC/Run.pm in @INC 
   (you may need to install the IPC::Run module) (@INC contains: 
   /home/runner/edbas/src/bin/pg_ctl/../../../src/test/perl 
   /home/runner/edbas/src/bin/pg_ctl
