I'm on Ubuntu Jaunty and I'm to build a distro on an 8gb flash drive which has been giving me tons of problems like this

WARNING: `makeinfo' is missing on your system. You should only need it if
you modified a `.texi' or `.texinfo' file, or any other file
indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual. The spurious
call might also be the consequence of using a buggy `make' (AIX,
DU, IRIX). You might want to install the `Texinfo' package or
the `GNU make' package. Grab either from any GNU archive site.

I've searched everywhere and read over the book. But, I still can't get it to work. And also I was wondering if you have to do things differently because I'm using lfs for a flash drive, or should you be able to do it all the same.
Thanks

sudo apt-get install texinfo

Nope no cigar tried doing it and i get the same error
