Assigned to: Fred L. Drake, Jr. (fdrake) Summary: Doc/ doesn't compile in 2.2b1

Initial Comment: Documentations in the distribution tar file of 2.2b1 doesn't compile. Doc/ of a snapshot tar ball on 10/19/01 compiles correctly. Materials under Doc/ in both tar balls are the same according to diff -r check. Containing a dot (.) in the name of the top directory of 2.2b1 leads to a LaTeX2HTML error, according to its error message.

It wouldn't be a bug because the README file in Doc directory says that a user should "twiddle" Doc/Makefile. But I hope all the documentation can be easily compiled from the next distribution files.

Additional info of omote's case: System: RH 7.1 Python: 2.1.1 (2.2b1 not yet installed) LaTeX2HTML: 2K.1beta (1.47)

When I compile Doc/ in the extracted tree of 2.2b1 distribution tar file, it fails. It doesn't fail when I move Doc/ directory to any other directory which path doesn't contain a dot. Following is a failure example to compile 'doc'.

Can you give more details as to how exactly compilation fails?
