WARNING you cannot build info or html versions of the R manuals
It's no big deal, but when I build R from source (as I must) I always get the warning given in the subject line of this post. I have searched the web a bit and have found a number of references to this warning. Universally the proffered solution is "install texinfo". So I did (just now) sudo yum install texinfo and was told: Package texinfo-4.13a-16.fc17.x86_64 already installed and latest version Nothing to do I checked with "whereis texinfo" and got: texinfo: /usr/share/texinfo /usr/share/man/man5/texinfo.5.gz So it's there on my system --- but perhaps not where R can find it??? Can anyone suggest to me what I need to do to get R and texinfo to cooperate? Please note that I am running Fedora 17. Yes, I know, it's antediluvian. But for reasons I do not wish to discuss, I'm stuck there. (This is one of the reasons why I must build R from source. It all works fine, except for that warning.) cheers, Rolf Turner -- Technical Editor ANZJS Department of Statistics University of Auckland Phone: +64-9-373-7599 ext. 88276 -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
