I think your info setup is a bit different. It would help if you could
describe it briefly. In any case, I would recommend you take a look at
this FAQ; maybe the answer is already there. :)

I have found the problem, the clue was in the error message:) When I was
using Debian/Ubuntu I got fed up of trying to get the info file to
install in the "correct" place. Using a large bit of duck tape, I put it in:
~/.emacs.d/src/info org
then defined the following key binding:
(global-set-key (kbd "<f9> i") (lambda ()
(interactive)
(info
"~/dropbox/.emacs.d/src/org-mode/doc/org")))
Since this isn't an info directory it doesn't contain a "dir" file for
install-info to update, so make-info complains.
I have now stuck some duck tape on the Makefile and changed make-info to
a simple "cp" command to get the file into the place where I want it.
Ian.
