Hello,
I've recently moved to Ubuntu 10.04. Now "make doc" and "make ps" seems
to hang, and it seems that the problem is with derivatives marked with
apostrophe, e.g. "x'". If I change that to "x\prime" then make doc seems
to make progress. Must we change all derivative apostrophes to \prime in
*.texi, or what is correct?

It was a bug in Texinfo, I reported it a while back and it is fixed in
more recent versions of Texinfo.

Hi,
I still have this problem in Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10, even after
upgrading info, install-info and texinfo .debs to version
4.13a.dfsg.1-6. Are you sure the problem is texinfo and not e.g.
texlive? In my case etex process hangs in a loop using lot of CPU
cycles.. I'm not sure where to file this bug.

The problem was definitely in Texinfo and it was fixed in CVS in Feb
2010 after I reported it. There have only been snapshot releases of
the texinfo.tex file since then and a not full Texinfo release so the
distributions have not picked it up.
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/texinfo/texinfo/doc/texinfo.tex?r1=1.306&r2=1.307

Ok, thanks for confirmation! I finally got it to work (I'm not too
familiar with texinfo..)
For others who might have this problem: The file doc/texinfo.tex seems
to be overwritten by the system's version of texinfo.tex when you run
autoreconf. I simply replaced the original doc/texinfo.tex file from
GSL source before making the documentation via e.g. "make ps". At
least that worked for me.

Yes, the one that is checked in is a more recent copy but it gets
overwritten if you run autoreconf. I've asked on the texinfo mailing
list if there can be a new relese of texinfo to get the fixed version
out into the distributions.
