Didn't my mail get through? I got the same symptoms on my machine where the makeinfo from teTeX (newer version than in 2.2) comes before /usr/bin/makeinfo in my $PATH. Define MAKEINFO=/usr/bin/makeinfo in /etc/make.conf (or /usr/src/share/mk/bsd.info.mk on the RELENG_2_2 branch) and you're set. I don't know what the fix in -current is, but 2.2 really builds with its own tools :-). tghome | help
