I've just installed GNU make-3.81. After I ran "makeinfo --version", the workstation complained that it couldn't find ELF. Since I had read that GNU's strip command caused that complaint, I deleted that command from /usr/local/bin. Maybe I still get the error message about makeinfo at least partly because the workstation can't find ELF.

Otherwise you will get the above message. So the first thing you should check is "makeinfo --version". Ian ________________________________________________________________ "Pro-choice?"
