It's no big deal, but when I build R from source (as I must) I always
get the warning given in the subject line of this post.
I have searched the web a bit and have found a number of references to
this warning. Universally the proffered solution is "install texinfo".
So I did (just now)
sudo yum install texinfo
and was told:
Package texinfo-4.13a-16.fc17.x86_64 already installed and latest
version
Nothing to do
I checked with "whereis texinfo" and got:
texinfo: /usr/share/texinfo /usr/share/man/man5/texinfo.5.gz
So it's there on my system --- but perhaps not where R can find it???
Can anyone suggest to me what I need to do to get R and texinfo to
cooperate?
Please note that I am running Fedora 17. Yes, I know, it's
antediluvian. But for reasons I do not wish to discuss, I'm stuck
there. (This is one of the reasons why I must build R from source.
It all works fine, except for that warning.)
cheers,
Rolf Turner
