Oh yes, Rupert. That's the cause of the problem. I have built version
5.31.3 in two machines with different
versions of Ubuntu and it works fine in the one that has texinfo 4 but
fails in the one with texinfo 5
-----------------------------------------------------------------
PC 1 (correct)
------------------
$ dpkg -l texinfo
ii texinfo 4.13a.dfsg.1-5 Documentation system for on-line
information
$maxima
Maxima 5.31.3 http://maxima.sourceforge.net
using Lisp SBCL 1.0.29.11.debian
(%i1) ? matrix
-- Function: matrix (<row_1>, ..., <row_n>)
Returns a rectangular matrix ...
PC 2 (incorrect)
---------------------
$ dpkg -l texinfo
ii texinfo 5.1.dfsg.1-4 amd64 Documentation system for
on-line
$ maxima
Maxima 5.31.3 http://maxima.sourceforge.net
using Lisp SBCL 1.1.1.0.debian
(%i1) ? matrix
-- Option variable: lmxchar
Default value: '['
'lmxchar' is the character displayed ...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(both PC's have amd64 architecture)

Jaime
