Probably expecting `make world' to work :-). `make world' does an incomplete bootstrap. In this case, the problem may be that it attempts to bootstrap the libraries early, but it needs to to bootstrap texinfo earlier. It does bootstrap texinfo early (after libraries). > how can I ``make world'', continuing from where it left off? No way. Normally it is unnecessary to run `make world' - just use `cd /usr/src; make depend; make; su; make install; exit', but downgrading to 2.2 is one case where `make world' is more likely to work. I would probably us a couple of passes of `make -k; su; make -k install; exit'. The first pass would install makeinfo but fail to install info pages and the second pass would install everything. makeinfo is about the only utility that needs to be downgraded. Bruce
