Thanks Achim. That does seem to fix the manifested problem. (make install-info seems to leave with with the 6.33x docs, but that's a problem for another day and thread, I expect.) Sorry for the verbosity. As I expect is clear, I don't have a good handle on what is going on and opted for risking too much information to avoid the need to tease more out of me through a few rounds of responses. I would suggest that the installation instructions at <http://orgmode.org/manual/Installation.html#Installation> be updated, as there one finds nothing about the need for ORGVERSION and GITVERTSION arguments to make. (While I know patches are welcome, I am reluctant to try to patch docs for an issue that I don't understand well.) Thanks and best, Brian vdB
