Do you have any idea how this could be fixed? When I run the current texi2dvi in a directory named `x~', I do not get an error in the default ("local") --build mode, as Christian (hi Christian) is apparently invoking it. So maybe try the current source from CVS, to see if that works now?
It still fails in --build=tidy or =clean mode, since then texi2dvi runs in a temp directory. So to get access to the original working dir in that case, it adds pwd to TEXINPUTS as an absolute directory. I don't see any eas way to deal with that. Change the catcode of ~ on the command line? Ugggh ... It's quite urgent, since version numbers and hence directory names with ~ in them are now becoming more and more common in Debian. How unfortunate. Not that it matters now, but I'm curious -- why/how was that character chosen? Best, Karl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
