Alternatively, you could say make install GZIP_INFO= in which case the Info files will not be compressed, and install-info should be happy even if it doesn't support compressed files. Installing without compressing Info files might be a good idea anyway, since a previous discussion seemed to indicate Windows users won't like them compressed. If you also want not to compress Lisp files, add GZIP_PROG= to the above command line.
