In the root of the pari installation directory is a directory “doc”. Change to that, and run “tex INSTALL”, which will produce “INSTALL.dvi”. Open that, and it will explain how to test. The first one, to get you started, is “make bench”. Other testing is described in the doc. HTH Justin -- Justin C.
