No, makeinfo was not on the system. I am setting up a Crux Linux system
and compiling everything from scratch so I have a good idea of what is
on the machine and makeinfo was not on there. I completed the compilation
successfully by installing texinfo which also installed makeinfo. The
reason for my post to this list was to notify you that the configure script
is not checking for makeinfo when it is required.
