There have at various times been re****ts of problems with makeinfo.
Since I don't use it at all, I have not tested it recently.
I vaguely recall that error message, and that a stupid fix
(unexplained by whoever suggested it) was to add a <space> after
the definition of 'origin':

This graph of sin(x) will have a y range [-3:3] because the function
will be autoscaled to [-1:1] and the vertical offsets are each two.
-3 origin
+3 origin
?commands set origin
?commands show origin
?set origin
[You can't see the difference on the screen, but I have added a <space>
character at the end of each of the affected lines].
Yup. That seems to make a difference, at least for "make info".
No promises as to whether that might conceivably break the hyperlinks
generated for some other output format like pdf.
A proper fix, or at least an explanation, would be welcome.
