make dvi fails on insight-5.2.1 cygnus

Hello,

 

make dvi fails on insight-5.2.1 cygnus. After poking around, I found that the problem is when texi2dvi (version 0.51) checks for macro extension in texinfo.tex. To do that it inputs texinfo.tex and sed ont it.

 

Problem is that it doesn't find texinfo.tex cause, Makefile in insight puts a relative path ../texinfo as in

TEXIDIR=${gdbdir}/../texinfo

but as gdbdir resolve to .

 

texi2dvi doesn't find texinfo.tex and make stands still in the tex call. Solution (patchy) is to replace by

TEXIDIR=/lib/texmf/tex/texinfo

thanks.
