Would it be difficult to add a --without-texinfo configure option, or even check for the right version of texinfo during the configure phase? To me, that seems to be the best of both worlds; build the PDF when you can, and skip it (without aborting make) when you can't. -- Larry Kollar k o l l a r @ a l l t e l . n e t Unix Text Processing: "UTP Revival" http://home.alltel.net/kollar/utp/
