Hi Martin,

Thanks a lot for the reply.

`which texi2html` gives me:
/usr/bin/texi2html

`texi2html --version` gives me:
1.70 (a newer version than fink has)

should I try to download fink's texi2html (since it isn't installed), see if that will fix it? For now I think I could get a small workaround w/ an alias (/me thinks).

What do you think?

Also, why are docs "mandatory" - I think that if the docs fail to build, it shouldn't stop compiling altogether. Perhaps there should be a test, if it fails it could ask "The documentation will fail to build. Do you want to proceed? [y/N]: ".

I also agree with your later statement, "it should be made compatible with more recent versions of texi2html." rather than try to work with an older version.

Thanks again!

- Mick

For some reason it is using the wrong texi2html. What do you get from "which texi2html" and "texi2html --version"? Fink's texi2html is at version 1.64 which is older than the one in /usr/bin and any other one that you might have installed yourself elsewhere, precisely for reasons like the above breakage. This could also be considered a bug in the autoconf2.5 package, because it should use "%/bin/texi2html" instead of a naked "texi2html" (maintainer CCed). Or it should be made compatible with more recent versions of texi2html.
