Hi Markus, everyone, Thanks for the bug report against Automake, and apologies for the cross-post.

Yes, I think those issues are not solved. All the failures you observe are essentially identical, similar to this: | make[1]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/e/Programme/GNU/automake-1.9.6/tests/testSubDir/txinfo3-1.0/_build' | TEXINPUTS="..:$TEXINPUTS" \ | MAKEINFO='/bin/sh /cygdrive/e/Programme/GNU/automake-1.9.6/tests/testSubDir/txinfo3-1.0/missing --run makeinfo -I ..' \ | texi2dvi ../textutils.texi | This is e-TeXk, Version 3.141592-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) | file:line:error style messages enabled. | %&-line parsing enabled. | ---! /var/lib/texmf/web2c/etex.fmt was written by pdfetex | (Fatal format file error; I'm stymied) | /usr/bin/texi2dvi: texinfo.tex appears to be broken, quitting. | make[1]: *** [textutils.dvi] Error 1 | make[1]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/e/Programme/GNU/automake-1.9.6/tests/testSubDir/txinfo3-1.0/_build' | make: *** [distcheck] Error 2 | FAIL: txinfo3.test I can reproduce them even with CVS Automake, and with several versions of texinfo.tex, including one from earlier this week, on a Cygwin from earlier this week (but not on other system)s. A web search shows other instances of this bug (outside of test suites), all without solution: https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15372 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.octave.general/10644/ I have no idea whether Cygwin, texinfo.tex, or texi2dvi is to blame, so let's ask the texinfo people whether they know more about this, or whether we should write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To reproduce, you could do this, for example: wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.9.6.tar.bz2 tar xvjf automake-1.9.6.tar.bz2 cd automake-1.9.6 ./configure && make cd tests env VERBOSE=x TESTS=txinfo3.test make -e check This will show the failure; the corresponding source tree will then be in automake-1.9.6/tests/testSubDir/txinfo3-1.0 with a build tree in automake-1.9.6/tests/testSubDir/txinfo3-1.0/_build for further inspection. AFAIK only the .dvi creation is affected, PDF, info and HTML should work, though. For reference, the textutils.texi file looks like this: | \input texinfo | @setfilename textutils | @settitle main | @node Top | Hello walls. | @bye Any help would be greatly appreciated.
