All,
I was following the HACKING.md file to build octave dev. The *make -j2* command exits with the following message...
MAKEINFO ../doc/interpreter/
octave.info TEXI2DVI doc/interpreter/octave.dvi
/usr/bin/texi2dvi: etex exited with bad status, quitting.
Makefile:27883: recipe for target 'doc/interpreter/octave.dvi' failed
