Are you compiling fom source? It looks like you'll need the "makeinfo" and perhaps the "install-info" binaries on your system. Install these, then in your emacs source directory, 1. make info If all here goes well (there ought to be an ./info directory full of info files), you can go through the build steps again after doing a=20 make distclean and you should be good to go! If you installed Almighty Emacs through a package manager, shame on your package manager! Be brave, and compile from source. - mgsk.
