No, you should pass the configure option --without-makeinfo. There is a real issue here though, and it is that the top-level Makefile does not check whether or not it needs to rebuild any manuals before checking the value of MAKEINFO. (The manuals are pre-built in the tarball, specifically so that you don't need makeinfo to install a released version of Emacs.) This only shows up when doing `make install'.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list, and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group. Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: I did not have makeinfo installed and configured emacs as usually. configure finished successfully without any complaints. No error appeared during configure. Then, make worked. But at the very end make install aborted complaining that makeinfo was not available. If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger, please include the output from the following gdb commands: `bt full' and `xbacktrace'. If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file /opt/gupu/share/emacs/23.1/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
