The documentation builds normally now. Thanks, Rik!

For other reasons, I had to shorten the node name that is causing a problem on your computer. This change may have also cleared up your error. Try building with any changset >= 16137:a885686b732a and see if it works.

The documentation was cleaned up to try and eliminate warnings under Texinfo 5.0 (see bug #38392).

This might, unfortunately, have to do less with Octave and more with the specific versions of Texinfo and makeinfo that you are using.

I am using 4.13a.dfsg.1-5ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit on x86_64 and it works properly.

You might also try 'make maintainer-clean; ./bootstrap; ./configure; make' to really clean everything out of your build and start from scratch.

Data: Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit on x86_64. Octave builds properly, then the build errors out inside doc/interpreter. The last build from Monday worked fine.

I see that the file octave/doc/interpreter/plot.txi has the following text in line 65:

and somehow the characters for @ and {} are being converted to their numeric code values, and makeinfo treats the text on that line as a filespec.
