My bad, I was missing texinfo package and thought that had already been
installed. Once that got installed, everything works as well as it did
earlier this year. If I knew what path that error took, I'd write what
might be a better error message for it asking for the texinfo package to
be installed.

already sent supporting Microsoft Windows and its applications I'd have
enough to retire on comfortably no matter what the stock market did.

Here is a useful command that you can use on Debian and Ubuntu systems
in situations like this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ dpkg -S makeinfo
texinfo: /usr/bin/makeinfo
octave3.2-common: /usr/share/octave/3.2.4/m/help/__makeinfo__.m
emacs23-common: /usr/share/emacs/23.1/lisp/textmodes/makeinfo.elc
texinfo: /usr/share/man/man1/makeinfo.1.gz
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
It tells you the packages containing files that match the argument
to the command.
Also, on modern Ubuntu, it is often the case that when you try to
execute a command by hand and it is not found, the system will suggest
the installation of a package:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ foo
No command 'foo' found, did you mean:
Command 'fio' from package 'fio' (universe)
Command 'goo' from package 'goo' (universe)
Command 'fop' from package 'fop' (universe)
Command 'fox' from package 'objcryst-fox' (universe)
Command 'xoo' from package 'xoo' (universe)
Command 'zoo' from package 'zoo' (universe)
foo: command not found
$ goo
The program 'goo' is currently not installed. To run 'goo' please ask your administrator to install the package 'goo'
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
HTH,
Nick
PS I have no idea what the package/command ``goo'' does.

This only works for installed packages, though, as it searches the files
below /var/lib/dpkg/info, IIRC.
BTW, dpkg forwards that request to dpkg-query.

In which case `apt-cache show goo` may be of help.
Hope this helps,

Ah, you are right: it's only useful after the fact.

you might want to use apt-files
$ apt-file search makeinfo ~
emacs23-common: /usr/share/emacs/23.3/lisp/textmodes/makeinfo.elc
emacs23-el: /usr/share/emacs/23.3/lisp/textmodes/makeinfo.el.gz
[...]
if updated regularly apt-file's database will contain every files in
every package in debian.

Hi Jude
Have you checked if the binary makeinfo can be found somewhere and if
it is reachable by your PATH? What is the output of these commands?
find /usr /bin /sbin -name makeinfo
echo $PATH
cd ~/org-mode && make info
Michael

For the record, this is a new installation of debian wheezy and
the makeinfo utility doesn't appear to be in the distribution let alone
on my system.

sudo apt-get install texinfo
I usually keep a (somewhat stale) copy of Contents-$arch.gz around and
find necessary packages with
zegrep bin/makeinfo Contents-$arch.gz
There is (was?) a package that would make package suggestions if a
command isn't found but I can't recall its name.
