Hi.  Yes it is highly probable that Gambit was compiled properly.   
Some people on other systems have also reported the same error on  
this test.  I may remove or change this test because it assumes you  
are building Gambit on a machine currently connected to the internet  
(and properly configured) and that "www.iro.umontreal.ca" is up and  
running, and reachable.  You might try a different web site.
