[Help-stow] stow tests fail on opensuse 12.1

[Sebastian Mattheis]

Hello stow-helpers,

I'm not totally new to stow and linux, but I'm not able to install stow on my OpenSuse 12.1 .

The problem is simple: The stow tests fail. If i still do 'make install' the binaries don't work.

Any help would be great!

Below I provide the necessary informations. However, if you need additional informations let me know.

Thanks in advance,
Sebastian

### comment: i ignored the warning "can't update ChangeLog" since i thought it's just a warning for the case, when stow is installed from git repository
