Description
For the installation of texinfo you need to set an symlink from: /usr/include/termcap.h to /usr/include/ncurses/termcap.h That is not described in the book...
suggestion: linux# mkdir /usr/include/ncurses linux# ln -s ../termcap.h
Then the package will compile without an error. Regards, Alex

Are you talking about texinfo in chapter 5, or chapter 6?
If chapter 6 then I'm guessing you used the same texinfo source tree as you used in chapter 5 (this problem is a typical example why you should never re-use the same source directory from chapter 5 - it creates these kind of distribution incompatibility problems).
Please send a reply through Bugzilla. If you don't, I'll assume you did indeed reuse the same source tree and I'll invalidate this bug.
