Sorry for the bother again, but now that I have managed to download
the right file, it falls over at the install-info stage:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
address@hidden:org$ make install-info
install-info --info-file=doc/org --info-dir=~/emacs/info
~/emacs/info/dir: could not read (No such file or directory) and could
not create (No such file or directory)
make: *** [install-info] Error 1
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I have no idea why this doesn't work, except for the fact that I
always seem to have problems with info directories...

The directory does exist, but there is no "dir" file there. There
seems nothing strange about the permissions:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
address@hidden:org$ ls -ld ~/emacs/info
drwxrwxr-x  27 will  staff  918  6 Oct 11:18 /Users/will/emacs/info
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It looks like the install-info rule has changed since 6.07. It used to
just use cp to install the files, which worked fine for me, so I have
just reverted the Makefile back to the old method for now.

I am on OS X 10.5.5 in case it matters.

Cheers

Will
