What it's telling you is that although you have a makeinfo program, the one you
have isn't new enough. To solve this problem, you'll probably need to go
download the source to makeinfo, and compile your own version (or if you're
suicidal enough) install macports, and use that to try to find
Hi Travis,
Thanks so much for your response. I do have the latest version of
Xcode, I double checked to make sure. What other tools from the Apple
developer website would help me here? I want to make sure I know how
to proceed correctly. I realize that this will take me a lot of time
and work, but

It looks like the latest version of texinfo is 5.2.
You can find it at:
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-5.2.tar.gz
After it's downloaded, open terminal, switch to the folder where it's located
(I have a source folder in my home folder, and I copy things into that folder

One more caveat. Since the make install puts the makeinfo program in the
/usr/local/bin, it will be overridden by the one in the /usr/bin folder, so
you'll need to either rename the one in the /usr/bin folder with a command such
as:
sudo mv /usr/bin/makeinfo /usr/bin/makeinfo.orig
or simply
Ok, I got as far as typing in the configure make sudo make install
command, only like the 4th one you listed. I have the texinfo-5.2
folder installed fine in terminal, but I can't get any further. When I
type in the configure make sudo make install string, here is what I
get.

I suggest you give up on this project temporarily. You will need to get a
version of makeinfo which is at least 5.00 or greater. You can probably
do so from http://finkproject.org/ once you have downloaded and installed
the fink project installer from that site. Next you need to learn how to
Why not try for tab completion? One could type cd tex then hit the tab
key and see if your computer fills in the rest of that directory name for
you. If it does, hit enter and you're in like flynn. If not, tab
completion either doesn't yet work in terminal or doesn't work in terminal

Ninite does not do mac stuff, at least they did not as of a few months ago.
Good luck with your project.

Tab completing is not a reliable wway to do stuff. I just copy paste the
directory in the terminal and it fills in the path for me.

Hello,
I'm installing a program on my mac called Liblouis. This is an open
source program that allows people to write braille translation tables,
so for example I can make a braille translation table in Armenian, a
language not currently available for use with a braille display.
Anyway, I'm using
