+It is a good practice to run the series of tests provided by the MEME
+Suite developers once the executables are built. Unfortunatelly, they
+cannot be run properly as root (at least here).
+
+You can, however, run them once the package is built as a normal user.
+Just copy the folder where the meme suite was built as your normal user,
+navigate there and run 'make test'. So, do something like this (for meme
+version 5.1.0):
+
+1) cp -a /tmp/SBo/meme-5.1.0/ ~/
+2) cd ~/meme-5.1.0
+3) make test
+
+You should receive a summary, like this:
+
+========================================================================
+Testsuite summary for meme 5.1.0
+========================================================================
+# TOTAL: 152
+# PASS: 152
+# SKIP: 0
+# XFAIL: 0
+# FAIL: 0
+# XPASS: 0
+# ERROR: 0
+========================================================================
+
+Note that on my 32bit installation of Slackware in a VM, the tests fail.
