The source distribution also contains regression tests for the optional
procedural languages and for some of the <filename>contrib</> modules.
At present, these tests can be used only against an already-installed
server. To run the tests for all procedural languages that have been
built and installed, change to the <filename>src/pl</> directory of the
build tree and type
<screen>
gmake installcheck
</screen>
You can also do this in any of the subdirectories of <filename>src/pl</>
to run tests for just one procedural language. To run the tests for all
<filename>contrib</> modules that have them, change to the
<filename>contrib</> directory of the build tree and type
<screen>
gmake installcheck
</screen>
The <filename>contrib</> modules must have been built and installed first.
You can also do this in a subdirectory of <filename>contrib</> to run
the tests for just one module.
