Hi, Thanks again, Kevin.
@Kasper: I had a new version (as of today) of MacTeX installed and texinfo came with it. I had texi2dvi, texi2pdf... but not texi2any, that's why I thought it's something 'special' and couldn't find it anywhere else. @Kevin: I tried homebrew, but it seemed to fail, saying that it won't link/install as texinfo is already installed (via MacTeX) :-(. Interestingly, /usr/local/Cellar/texinfo existed afterwards and it contained ./5.2/bin/texi2any. I then simply linked from /usr/local/bin to that file, but still obtained (also after a reboot + as su): sklar-2:R-3.2.0_build mhofert$ make info ERROR: 'texi2any' v5.1 or later needed but missing on your system. make[2]: *** [R-FAQ.info] Error 1 make[1]: *** [info] Error 2 make: [info] Error 2 (ignored) sklar-2:R-3.2.0_build mhofert$ texi2any --version texi2any (GNU texinfo) 5.2 Copyright (C) 2013 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
