They did not fail because the things they were testing were not working. They failed because interbase.so module couldn't be found (tests didn't even run). Maybe they depend on interbase module for whatever strange reason. If I were you, I'd just edit the spec file and remove them. In the %prep section, just after patches are applied, thre's couple of lines that remove some other tests that fail for no good reason (preventing php rpm from being built). Just add these two lines inthere, and you should be fine: rm -f ext/standard/tests/file/bug26938.phpt rm -f ext/standard/tests/file/proc_open01.phpt If you customize spec file to build more modules, some other tests may also fail (again, usually for no good reason). Check output for details. It tells you why test failed. If it's just linking problem (like with those two tests that are bugging you now), ignore it and disable the test in spec file (by removing it in %prep section).
