Hi I am the user in discussion,

The output is in the attached file. Probably the Emacs pretest got pre-compiled info documents?

Some relevant information:

- Output from makeinfo --version:

makeinfo (GNU texinfo) 5.2

- Which makeinfo I am using:

/usr/bin/makeinfo

- The other two config.log files for each Emacs version, both use /usr/bin/makeinfo

I also installed texinfo 5.1 and the result is the same.

OS:

Distributor ID:    Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Release:    14.04
Codename:    trusty

Thanks,

Tu.

Hi again,

Thanks for that info - I've passed it along to the bug thread.

From the bug thread there is this request from you. Could you check this?

Thx - Drew
I built from source with makinfo 5.2. However, makeinfo 5.2 works fine for Emacs pretest (emacs 24.3.90), but not for Emacs trunk(24.4.50):
bzr branch bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/emacs/trunk
Here are the steps to build:
- ./configure --with-x-toolkit=gtk
- make
- sudo make install
