Re: compile failure with 16.1 & 16.0

[Mike Johnson]

Bruno;

Didn't get your email until this morning. 

About 3 am just before I gave up and went to bed, I updated Texinfo and 
Gawk to the latest versions.  When I did that, this error message went 
away and both versions compiled.  Both of what I had previously 
installed were from OpenSuse 10.2, which is fairly recent.   I really 
don't have a clue why it was giving me that error message.   In case you 
still need the information, here is what you asked for.  Remember Gawk 
and Texinfo were some lower version when I wrote to you.  What I have 
here is what it is now, and it works:

uname -msr:

   Linux 2.6.22.11x64_smp_mdj x86_64
   (my machine is an Intel dual Xeon MB so it appears as quad 64 bit
   processors to the kernel.  For some reason the smp kernel provided
   by Open SUSE does not recognize the smp configuration, so I built
   kernel 2.6.22.11)
