With the option --clean, texi2dvi calls pdfetex which fails when the current directory contains a tilde in its name: $ pwd ~/src/debian/ram/libaws-2.5~124785/docs # note the tilde $ texi2dvi -p --expand --clean aws.texi /usr/bin/texi2dvi: Running pdfetex --file-line-error '/home/lbrenta/src/debian/ram/libaws-2.5~124785/docs/aws.t2d/pdf/src/aws.texi' ... This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6) file:line:error style messages enabled. %&-line parsing enabled. entering extended mode ! I can't find file `/home/lbrenta/src/debian/ram/libaws-2.5'. <to be read again> \penalty ~->\penalty [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ <*> /home/lbrenta/src/debian/ram/libaws-2.5~ 124785/docs/aws.t2d/pdf/src/aws.... Please type another input file name: I found that a workaround was to use --build-dir instead of --clean and to make sure the specified build directory does not contain a tilde in its name; for example: $ texi2dvi -p --expand --build-dir=$(mktemp -d) aws.texi -- Ludovic Brenta. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
