Anyway, what I have is whatever Ubuntu provides in 12.04:


address@hidden:~$ automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.11.3

address@hidden:~$ texi2dvi --version
texi2dvi (GNU Texinfo 4.13) 1.135

So this isn't a "bad versions of tools" issue.

Anyway, I can reproduce the failure with the vanilla tarball:
<http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/n/netperf/netperf_2.6.0.orig.tar.gz>

With that, "make dvi" fails for me.  But so does this simple command:

   $ cd doc && TEXINPUTS=".:$TEXINPUTS" /usr/bin/texi2dvi netperf.texi

which shows the issue has nothing to do with Automake.  In fact, the above
works if I use Texinfo 5.x instead of Texinfo 4.13!

So, having estabilished Automake is not the guilty party, I'll let you
chase the issue from ere on.  Good luck ;-)

To the texinfo mailing list I go then :)
