<p>
You can run the tests with a compiler and library that have already
been installed. Make sure that the compiler (e.g., <code>g++</code>)
is in your <code>PATH</code>. If you are using shared libraries, then
you must also ensure that the directory containing the shared version
of libstdc++ is in your <code>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code>, or equivalent.
If your GCC source tree is at <code>/path/to/gcc</code>, then you can
run the tests as follows:
<pre>
runtest --tool libstdc++ --srcdir=/path/to/gcc/libstdc++-v3/testsuite
</pre>
The testsuite will create a number of files in the directory in which you
run this command,. Some of those files might use the same name as
files created by other testsuites (like the ones for GCC and G++), so
you should not try to run all the testsuites in parallel from the same
directory.

<p> In addition, there are some testing options that are mostly of
interest to library maintainers and system integrators. As such,
