Mon 02 Mar 2020 05:27:39 PM UTC, comment #2: Confirmed. In Texinfo 6.7, the command @seealso was introduced. Octave has updated renamed its own to @xseealso, packages that define a @seealso should probably follow suit, or rely on Octave's macros.texi instead of redefining their own.	Mike Miller <mtmiller>
Mon 02 Mar 2020 11:33:35 AM UTC, comment #1: I cant get it to fail on my machine Perhaps a different version of makeinfo or someting? makeinfo, texi2pdf ... 6.6 octave 5.2.0	John Donoghue <lostbard>
Sun 01 Mar 2020 04:19:52 PM UTC, original submission: Building the PDF form of the documentation for the queueing package fails with this error message: $ cd doc $ make pdf […] […] ./queueing.texi:29: Macro name seealso already defined. @macroxxx ...@the @macname @space already defined} @fi @global @cslet {macsav... l.29 @macro seealso {args} […] /usr/bin/texi2dvi: pdfetex exited with bad status, quitting. […] This may be related to Bug#55225. Notice that this also affects several other Octave-Forge packages, which contain a .texi file that redefines the @seealso macro, for instance : arduino database optim parallel zeromq	Rafael Laboissière <rlaboiss>
