Re: [O] why was makefile changed to produce this?
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.

Re: [O] why was makefile changed to produce this?
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.

Re: [O] why was makefile changed to produce this?
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 $PATH cd ~/org-mode && make info Michael On Tue, Oct 18, 2011 at 07:02, Jude DaShiell wrote: > Script started on Tue 18 Oct 2011 12:55:27 AM EDT > jude@stmarys:~/org-mode$ make [K [K [K [K [Ksudo make install-info > (cd doc && makeinfo --no-split org.texi -o org) > /bin/sh: 1: makeinfo: not found > make: *** [doc/org] Error 127 > jude@stmarys:~/org-mode$ exit > exit > > Script done on Tue 18 Oct 2011 12:56:00 AM EDT
