gcc compiling errors when i do make install


Hello all I hope some one may we able to hel me with this one. I am running SUSE 10.0 and am trying to complile gcc 4.1.0 as the stock version of gcc in SUSE is missing gfortran and g77. I run ./configure and make with out any problems but when I do make install I get this output. I have had a quick google but can't find anything. Probibly a very silly question. Here is my output:-

linux:/home/Tommy/gcc-4.1.0/gcc-4.1.0 # make install
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/Tommy/gcc-4.1.0/gcc-4.1.0'
/bin/sh ./mkinstalldirs /usr/local /usr/local
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/Tommy/gcc-4.1.0/gcc-4.1.0/host-i686-pc-linux-gnu/fastjar'
restore=: && backupdir=".am$$" && \
rm -rf $backupdir && mkdir $backupdir && \
for f in fastjar.info fastjar.info-[0-9] fastjar.info-[0-9][0-9] fastjar.i[0-9] fastjar.i[0-9][0-9]; do \
if test -f $f; then mv $f $backupdir; restore=mv; else :; fi; \
done; \
if /home/Tommy/gcc-4.1.0/gcc-4.1.0/missing makeinfo --split-size=5000000 --split-size=5000000 -I ../.././fastjar/../gcc/doc/include -I ../.././fastjar \
-o fastjar.info `test -f 'fastjar.texi' || echo '../.././fastjar/'`fastjar.texi; \
then \
rc=0; \
else \
rc=$?; \
$restore $backupdir/* `echo "./fastjar.info" | sed 's|[^/]*$||'`; \
fi; \
rm -rf $backupdir; exit $rc
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.
make[2]: *** [fastjar.info] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/Tommy/gcc-4.1.0/gcc-4.1.0/host-i686-pc-linux-gnu/fastjar'
make[1]: *** [install-fastjar] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/Tommy/gcc-4.1.0/gcc-4.1.0'
make: *** [install] Error 2

I have make installed and I have not altered any .texi files. Will I have to reinstall make or is there any way round it? Any help would be good.

So do as it says: Install texinfo and perhaps docbook to see if it helps
