The file cygwin-1.5.12-1/newlib/libc/libc.texinfo in the source distribution for cygwin-1.5.12-1 contains the following lines near the top of the file: START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY * libc:: The ANSI C library. END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY This incorrectly instructs info to look for a node named "libc", which doesn't exist. The correct entry would be: * libc: (libc). The ANSI C library. This tells info to look for the *file* libc.info. There is a similar problem in cygwin-1.5.12-1/newlib/libm/libm.texinfo: START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY * libm:: An ANSI-C conforming mathematical library. END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY This entry, of course, should read: * libm: (libm). An ANSI-C conforming mathematical library.
