Hi,
I am facing an issue with compiling tex files under directories with spaces in the name through texi2dvi (version 6991). Apparently mkdir internally is not passed with a "safe" version of the path which results in the error
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘dir ...
pdflatex and variants work OK on my platform (Ubuntu 16.04) and the oddest thing of all is that texi2dvi I have on a Mac OS X system (version 5381) works fine.
Attached is the output form texi2dvi --debug on a test file.
Any input will be much appreciated.
