I found the problem (I think). See below: --- Cut Here --- make[1]: Entering directory '/home/username/Build/bash-5.3-rc2/doc' rm -f bashref.info makeinfo --no-split -I../lib/readline/doc ./bashref.texi make[1]: makeinfo: Command not found Makefile:181: recipe for target 'bashref.info' failed make[1]: *** [bashref.info] Error 127 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/username/Build/bash-5.3-rc2/doc' Makefile:917: recipe for target 'install' failed make: [install] Error 2 (ignored) ( cd ./builtins ; make DESTDIR= install ) --- Cut Here ---
I assume that had this step succeeded, it would have then copied stuff to the "man1" directory. The fact that this error is ignored and the "make install" continues, is what threw me off (this step is buried in the middle of the whole "make install" terminal chatter - luckily, I was running this under "tmux" and was able to scroll way back and check it). So, how to fix this? Note: I think I have done this successfully in the past (with bash "make install", so I assume the "makeinfo" thing is new. ================================================================================= Please do not send me replies to my posts on the list.
