Unless all the tests pass you have a duff product. Reading the test logs 
produced by tests that fail should help, but the log level is pretty 
high and needs some parsing. Personally I try to rebuild from srpms on a 
similar machine to my production machines, especially with something as 
complicated as what Buchan offers. One has the opportunity to alter the 
spec file to suit one's own needs, too.

I'm sure that most people here are here who do help, are here because 
they want to help. But you have to do as the ones who can make (almost) 
everything work advise.
