Have been running the development version of texi2pdf with the following command.
/home/hagbard/Admir/bin/texinfo/bin/texi2pdf 06a-amcoh.texi bin/tex/texinfo has been created and includes tekinfo.text as expected But, I get smacked with this message /home/hagbard/Admir/bin/texinfo/bin/texi2pdf: 37: /home/hagbard/Admir/bin/texinfo/bin/texi2pdf: texi2dvi: not found I do have texi2dvi in /home/hagbard/Admir/bin/texinfo/bin/ Looks like texi2pdf is looking for texi2dvi somewhere else. > Sent: Thursday, June 24, 2021 at 5:51 PM > From: "Eli Zaretskii" <[email protected]> > To: "Christopher Dimech" <[email protected]> > Cc: [email protected], [email protected] > Subject: Re: Using a macro makes pdfetex quits and exits with bad status > > > From: Christopher Dimech <[email protected]> > > Cc: [email protected], [email protected] > > Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2021 20:52:44 +0200 > > > > > That would clobber existing installations it TeX Live etc., so it's > > > not a good idea to do that by default, without the user's say-so. > > > > > > > I disagree on the additional tex/texinfo/ part of the installation > > > > > > I think your perspective is biased in this aspect. > > > > Quite likely.
