I'm also suspicious about the line preceeding the error: "checking for
working makeinfo... missing". I recently upgraded my Debian 2.0 to
2.1, on my "old" 2.0 the compile (scripts config.guess) worked fine.

Ouch! I came to Linux quite a short time ago, I am afraid, that this
stuff is kind of too advanced for me :-( I was more hoping, someone
would tell me "you need to install package XY" or something a linux
newbie like me could handle more easily ;-)
Anyway: thanks for your feedback!
Kind regards Frederick
