After the command:

Code:

./configure --prefix=/usr --bindir=/bin --enable-html

I seem to be getting this error:

checking for wcscoll... yes

checking for btowc... yes

checking how to build HTML documentation... not built

I'm using Mepis 6.5 inside VMware Fusion on my Macbook, I'm guessing it's some package I'm missing.
is there an easy apt-get to fix this?

thanks a lot

apt-get? It's looking for the texinfo you installed in section 5.28.

doh, I went to check out if I could install texinfo via apt-get (which I seemed to be missing indeed) but I got some errors and figured a reboot might cure it.

can't log into mepis anymore...arg :(

edit: looks like I didn't chroot properly and thus screwing up my mepis
ah well, no biggie
