Version: texi2dvi (GNU Texinfo 4.3) 1.10 texindex (GNU texinfo) 4.3 The bug does not occur with Texinfo 4.2
platform: alpha-unknown-linux-gnu (RedHat 7.1 on UP1500) input files: http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/anton/tmp/bug-texinfo-4.3.tar.gz Problem: Type: wget http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/anton/tmp/bug-texinfo-4.3.tar.gz tar xfz bug-texinfo-4.3.tar.gz cd bug-texinfo-4.3/ texi2dvi -e gforth.texi This produces: /usr/local/bin/texi2dvi: line 654: 5855 Segmentation fault (core dumped) $texindex $index_files 2>&5 1>&2 /usr/local/bin/texi2dvi: texindex exited with bad status, quitting. The problem vanishes if I remove the file "gforth.ds" from the directory. Apparently texindex thinks that it is an index file and becomes confused (actually gforth.ds is a source file from which gforth.texi is generated). Problem 2: I could not step back from 4.3 to 4.2 by patching with the diff. Somehow the whole automake etc. process became confused (recent versions of autoconf and automake) and did not result in anything that I could compile. Fortunately I had a texinfo-4.2.tar.gz lying around somewhere. - anton _______________________________________________ Bug-texinfo mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-texinfo
