In fact, I want to install newlib, but for newlib, texinfo has to be 
    installed.

Oh.  You can probably just touch a .info file for newlib and it
shouldn't care further.  (newlib should be distributed with the .info,
or not require it -- seems like a bug in their source distribution.)
Alternatively, SL6 should surely have a texinfo package, which should
suffice.

Hope this helps,
Karl
