Re: make doc, problem with derivative/prime/apostrophe


Hi,

I still have this problem in Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10, even after
upgrading info, install-info and texinfo .debs to version
4.13a.dfsg.1-6. Are you sure the problem is texinfo and not e.g.
texlive? In my case etex process hangs in a loop using lot of CPU
cycles..  I'm not sure where to file this bug.
