Problem making gnus info file in current CVS

Problem making gnus info file in current CVS

[Emerick Rogul]

Hi,

I get the following error when making the gnus info file in the
current CVS.  Does anyone have any idea what's wrong?  Typo somewhere?

Making info file `gnus' from `gnus.texi'.
./gnus.texi:16245: Node `GroupLens' missing Up field.
makeinfo: Removing output file `gnus' due to errors; use --force to preserve.

Makeinfo (GNU texinfo 3.12) 1.68 fails. Makeinfo 4.0 works. Upgrading
makeinfo helps.

Ah, OK.  I am using makeinfo 1.68, so that's probably the problem.
Thanks,

I had the same problem. On ShengHuo ZHU's advice, I upgraded my
makeinfo to the latest available and all worked well. Note that
makeinfo is part of the texinfo package, available at
/anonymous@aeneas.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-4.0.tar.gz
