Yeah, sorry about that, I should have known that you would also need to use make MAKEINFO=true > ... and ran into the next error: > > /u/fzj301zm/BlueGene/fortran_libraries_on_the_blue_gene_with_mpi/libtool/libltdl/config/missing: > line 54: help2man: command not found > WARNING: `help2man' is missing on your system.

This, OTOH, is a bug that will be fixed in the next Automake release. The need for help2man will then only arise for "make dist", even with version control checkouts which contain no pre-generated man pages. However, for others encountering this bug: you can also work around it by repeatedly running "make" for a few times. I've pushed the patch for bootstrap now. Cheers, and thanks for persevering, Ralf
