But if I manually run `makeinfo --enable-encoding conftest.texi && echo hi`, "hi" is produced as output, so I'm confused. Any other suggestions? i see that you changed configure.in but don't know what else you did, to be able to say, "it still doesn't work". here are some suggestions: - w/ those changes, regenerate configure w/ GNU Autoconf 2.61 - arrange for your system to have a known-good makeinfo - rerun configure (a) - arrange for your system to have a known-bad makeinfo - rerun configure (b) since the subject of the test is "finding an appropriate makeinfo", to test thoroughly, we want to see that the result of (a) is that the makeinfo is found; and that the result of (b) is that makeinfo is not found and furthermore configure exits failurefully. am i missing something? did you mean something else as "it"? thi
