Following is an extract of the result for (describe-function
'mode-line-toggle-read-only) :
----------------------------------------------------------------------
mode-line-toggle-read-only is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
`bindings.el'.
(mode-line-toggle-read-only EVENT)
Cannot open doc string file "DOC-24.3.50.1"
[back]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What is "DOC-24.3.50.1"?
It appears I've the issue while 'describing' other functions.
I am using the last Emacs from the trunk. The other Emacs version I have
is v24.1.1 and print "Like `toggle-read-only', for the mode-line."
instead (in the case of `mode-line-toggle-read-only').
Regards
Yves

This file contains the short documentation string of all the functions available in this version of dumped GNU Emacs. It is usually found in /usr/local/share/emacs/<version>/etc, i.e., /usr/local/share/emacs/24.3.50/etc. Since GNU Emacs is a developing version you just need to invoke
sudo make install
and the DOC file appear in the proper spot! (A copy exists as <path to the GNU Emacs 24.3.50 sources>/etc/DOC, if there is no <path to the GNU Emacs 24.3.50 sources>/etc/DOC-24.3.50.1 file. If none of them exists, then either just 'make' again or update with bzr etc.)
