Seems fine. This passes the test configure applies: echo 'makeinfo (GNU texinfo) 4.12' | \ egrep 'texinfo[^0-9]*([1-4][0-9]+|[5-9]|4\.[6-9]|4\.[1-5][0-9]+)' (where configure has already set 'egrep' to whatever is appropriate.) > Any ideas? Does echo $MAKEINFO return anything? If so, try unset MAKEINFO Otherwise, examine configure output and config.log for more details related to makeinfo. Eg, what does it say at: checking for makeinfo... ???
