Merhaba:

I'm trying to build the GNU/Emacs docs which are in Latex format. Here is the 
error encountered.

make[1]: Entering directory '/opt/emacs/build/doc/lispref'
  GEN      elisp.dvi
/usr/bin/texi2dvi: Your TeX installation appears to be broken - texi2dvi
cannot determine auxiliary files output from a TeX run.

You may need to install TeX, or change the values of your PATH, TEX
or PDFTEX environment variables in order to proceed.
make[1]: *** [Makefile:160: elisp.dvi] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/opt/emacs/build/doc/lispref'
make: *** [Makefile:1151: lispref-dvi] Error 2

At first the error was that texi2pdf utility is not found.

This was resolved by installing 'texlive-bin' package.
https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/texlive-bin/

And then /usr/bin/texi2dvi was not found, which was resolved by installing 
'texinfo' package.

What is not clear to me at this stage is, whether the issue is really because 
of a 'broken' TeX installation or that yet another package installation is 
required.

Any one knows?


warm regards
Saifi.
