slib: build fails with texinfo 5

[posita (Matt Bogosian)]

slib gets pulled in when building gnucash in a user (non root) installation. It fails when "Staging slib into destroot". main.log attached.

It looks like an incompatibility with texinfo 5. I get the same problem when I build slib @3b4. Please report this to the developer of slib so that it can be corrected. As a workaround, you could deactivate the texinfo port for the duration that you're installing slib.

I contacted Aubrey Jaffer <agj@…> and let him know.

Added conflicts_build texinfo for slib in r116728.

Thanks for your bug report.  The development version is updated:
http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/ftpdir/users/jaffer/slib.zip

Also, the CVS repository is updated:
https://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=slib

I don't have access to a machine with TeXinfo-5 installed.  I would
appreciate if someone would try out the development version.

Looks like the next release of slib will have a fix:

SLIB 3b5 has been released. It looks like this problem has been fixed: I was able to successfully build slib 3b5 with texinfo @5.2_2 installed. I've attached a patch.
