[help-texinfo] install texinfo

[J.W.J. Geenen]

Karl Berry,

Thanks for the instruction. I changed with the chmod a+x for the install-sh the access rights and then I tried to install texinfo.

The commands ./configure and the make ended with no errors. 

The make check ended with the following remarks:

==================

All 23 tests passed

===================

make[2]: Nothing to be done for `check-am'.

Making check in po

make[1]: Nothing to be done for `check'.

Making check in util

make  defs

make[2]: `defs' is up to date.

make  check-TESTS

SKIP: bibtex.test

FAIL: dvipdf.test

SKIP: latex2html.test

FAIL: texi2dvi.test

====================================

2 of 2 tests failed

(2 tests were not run)

Please report to address@hidden

====================================

make[2]: *** [check-TESTS] Error 1

make[1]: *** [check-am] Error 2

make: *** [check-recursive] Error 1

[Computer-van-Geenen:~/Desktop/GNU-texinfo/texinfo-4.11] geenen% make install

I tried the make install and hoped that the two failed test did no harm. But it ended as follows:

mkdir: /usr/local/share/texinfo: Permission denied

make[2]: *** [install-dist_pkgdataDATA] Error 1

make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2

make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

Any idea what to do?

Regards

Jan Geenen
