Dear all, I am trying to compile and install R from sources on Ubuntu GNU/Linux 64 bit. It usually worked flawlessly for me for more than 4 years (32bit and 64bit on Mandrake/Mandriva, Suse, Debian, Ubuntu). However, I am experiencing some problems now -- not during compiling and installing R itself but with the manuals.
Maybe someone can help me with it? I tried to find some information in the archives on the web but I was not successful. Please let me explain therefore in detail where the problem is (incl. some additional information): Following the instructions in section 2.2 of the R Installation and Administration Manual (http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Making-the-manuals), making the info manuals works fine via "make info" However, when I want to make the dvi and pdf manuals, I get the following error: ====================================================== Loading texinfo [version 2007-09-03.05]: pdf, fonts, page headings, tables, conditionals, indexing, sectioning, toc, environments, defuns, macros, cross references, insertions, (./epsf.tex This is `epsf.tex' v2.7.3 <23 July 2005> ) localization, formatting, and turning on texinfo input format.)

Is it a TeX/LaTeX-problem? Of course, I checked whether I have recent versions of makeinfo and texi2dvi installed (which is mentioned in the manual). This seems to be the case: ====================================================== r...@roland-desktop-64bit:/extras/R/R-2.9.0# makeinfo --version makeinfo (GNU texinfo) 4.11 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
