Although I did not notice this for a RedHat EL4 build I have performed, I noticed the same makeinfo error while I was doing a solaris 2.8 build. I found out that Solaris host was using old versions of autoconf and automake. I upgraded them to autoconf 2.59 and automake 1.9.6 and then the problem went away...
Cheers,
Erel

I'm sorry to bother you with this. I wanted to update my gdb from the
one we had been using on RH 9 to a newer version and thought I would try
Insight with the visual goodies. I downloaded it, ran the configure
script then did a make I get the following error:

WARNING: `makeinfo' is missing on your system. You should only need it if
you modified a `.texi' or `.texinfo' file, or any other file
indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual. The spurious
call might also be the consequence of using a buggy `make' (AIX,
DU, IRIX). You might want to install the `Texinfo' package or
the `GNU make' package. Grab either from any GNU archive site.

I have not modified any of the files. I do have makeinfo (makeinfo (GNU
texinfo) 4.3), it's probably old and make is GNU Make version 3.79.1,
using gcc 4.1.0. I was able to successfully build and use Insight 6.4.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance
