the `GNU make' package. Grab either from any GNU archive site.

You keep not telling us things.

So, does "makeinfo" do anything?

I've now installed texinfo.

oaina@temp2:~/Downloads/gcc-build$ which makeinfo
/usr/bin/makeinfo
oaina@temp2:~/Downloads/gcc-build$ makeinfo
makeinfo: missing file argument.
Try `makeinfo --help' for more information.

Surprisingly, the build still complains that makeinfo is not available!


Some older versions of GCC were broken with versions of texinfo with two digits in part of the version number. I suspect that is the problem you are seeing.

What is the output of 'makeinfo --version'? If it is 4.10 or later...
