Thanks. That gets me a bit further but it fails as follows:

$ ./run_tests.py --integ --tor ../tor-0.2.3.25

Is that a bug that it says 'TESTING PASSED' even though it failed to
start Tor? Is the permission denied error because I need to be root to
run the tests? If so, how to change the tests so that being root isn't
necessary?

Thanks,
Simon
