RE: Error compiling Octave-3.4.1 on Ubuntu-10.04-LTS

[YuHong]

So I installed the suggested packages, and then rebuilt with doc enabled (default configuration).  However, 'make' hits the following error:

/usr/bin/texi2dvi: texinfo.tex appears to be broken, quitting.
make[3]: *** [OctaveFAQ.dvi] Error 1

I searched Octave mailing archive, found some old records of the similar problem; however, still not clear of the solution for Ubuntu-Linux.  Therefore much appreciate it if further suggestions.  Thanks a lot!

Regards,

Hong Yu
