Just for completeness, I get the same error on my G5 iMac running 10.5.1. The only difference between revision 1012 and 1013 is that I added a dependency on automake1.9, but I have no idea if that has anything to do with it. I also noticed that I have three files:
exile:info koen$ ls -la plplot* -rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 15956 Dec 27 09:41 plplotdoc.info -rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 296323 Dec 27 09:41 plplotdoc.info-1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 202131 Dec 27 09:41 plplotdoc.info-2 Is that correct? - Koen.
