I couldn't find a CVS > directory anywhere: Ok, you have a tar-ball of octave-forge. So unless it has been corruptted somewhere I doubt it is this... Now another possiblity >>>Making texinfo comms.texi >>>Making info comms.info >>>comms.texi:12375: at item not meaningful inside `@menu' block. >>>comms.texi:12378: at item not meaningful inside `@menu' block. The line numbers 12375, etc are very dubious.... When I do a make the file main/coms/doc/comms.texi is generated from main/comms/doc/comms.txi and has the following properties % wc comms.txi comms.texi 2252 12364 76149 comms.txi 4846 26345 171118 comms.texi 7098 38709 247267 total So comms.texi has only 4846 lines. Where your more than 12k lines are coming from I don't know. Can you run the above command on these files? Can you also then remove the comms.texi file and rebuild.. Perhaps there is a corrupt version of this file and it has a date later than comms.txi and so isn't being rebuilt...
