Recently we had to download texinfo from version 5.1 to any version less than version 5 series.
We used texinfo version 4.13 which is the latest in the version 4 series.
We were trying to compile some tools using an older version of gcc. Instead of using 4.8.5, we used 4.8.2 to achieve our goal and that caused a problem with some .texi files.
Methodology
#Making sure we are not missing any 32bit libraries since we are on a 64bit machine yum install glibc.i686 ncurses-libs.i686; #Download the source code wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-4.13.tar.gz; #Extract the files tar -zxf texinfo-4.13.tar.gz; #Navigate to the folder cd texinfo-4.13; #Configure the installation and make all necessary checks ./configure; #Build make; #Install sudo make install;
