Hey Maureen,
Wow, my first email from someone with a .mil, suffix, thanks!
First, are these questions about Xerces-C, i.e. the C++ parser? Or are
you attempting to install Xerces-P the perl parser (which will require
that you install Xerces-C, first)?
You shouldn't require autoconf for either. autoconf is used to rebuild
the configure script from the configure.in script, which unless you
are a developer on the project you should never need to do.

GNU is an organization, and slow to respond...

If this is for Xerces-C, you shouldn't run the configure script
directly, instead use the runConfigure script, that helps automate the
process.

makeinfo is a utility for generating documentation, it is not critical.

Did you try the unix binaries? They are available for a number of
platforms. Since you didn't mention your platform, I can't tell. If
you do really need to build it from source, I would read the detailed
build instructions available at
xml.apache.org/xerces-c/build-winunix.html
HTH,
