Yes, this is a bug in the new version of gnushogi (maintainer CCed): When the "InfoDocs:" field is used, the info file (the one for gnu info, not the one for fink) needs to be in a format that install-info can understand. In particular, there must be a line close to the beginning that contains either the word 'START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY' or the phrase 'This file documents'. In the case of gnushogi, the phrase is 'This file describes' which AFAIR was OK with older versions of install-info, but is not OK now. The file doc/gnushogi.info must be patched correspondingly. It suffices to replace 'describes' by 'documents' in the 2nd paragraph. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
