Apparently your version of install-info expects $(infodir)/dir to
exist, and reports an error if it does not.  install-info 3.9 behaves
that way.  Newer install-infos (e.g. 4.2) create a new dir if there is
none.

One workaround is to set infodir to the directory where your dir is,
like this:

make install infodir=/usr/share/info
