R devel - Feb 2004 - error in building R-1.9.0 sources under Win32

I am trying to compile the R-dev sources on WinXP using mingw 3.1.0-1 
and fpTeX 0.7. In the past I
have been able to build the sources fine but now I receive an error in 
the process that I havent seen reported on the list before. Everything 
works fine until I get to 'make docs'. I now get the message below while
building the R-admin manual (refman.pdf builds fine) and the make 
process quits. The error message this has to do with txi-en.tex so I put 
txi-en.tex in path_to_tex/texmf/tex/texinfo where I believe it should be 
(the full installation of fpTeX did not come with this file). 'make 
distribution' also fails with the same error message. Any thoughts on 
what is going wrong here?

First, 1.9.0 is not released ... so I presume you mean R-devel.  Which 
date?

Did you remake your fptex databases (texhash) after adding the file?  It
is an TeX problem, not an R one.   You may find it simpler to put the file 
in .../doc/manual or .../share/texmf.

I've added it to the distribution, since people are using

@documentlanguage en

in .texi files (even though that appears to be the default according to
txi-en.tex).
