Then I discovered I had been using an unzip program that did not preserve long file names. (the file include/sys/sysmacro.h instead of with ane xtra s). soi download winzip...extract everything again, and it still worked fine..except for the info files. Some files whcih used to call *.inf were now called *.info and that seemed to cause the problem (not being able to do 'info libc' or something). I manually changed all the *.info to *.inf and it was ok again. I guess I do something wrong as I can't believe the distribution was wrong... could someone explain this ?
