You are doing lots wrong.

First you are missing texinfo's makeinfo, which seems to be used by mpir
to make its documentation.  That's fine, you don't need texinfo.

Secondly, you don't need texinfo because you are pointlessly trying to
compile and install mpir.  Why?  Your distribution will already come
with gmp or mpir so it is completely unnecessary.

Thirdly, you are posting massively long posts with no regard for
snipping irrelevant content.

Fourthly, trying to install these out-of-distribution packages, when
your distribution will already provide them, is going to break your
installation.  You will end up with conflicting and incompatible
versions of different libraries installed.

I suggest deleting your current linux installation, reinstall it from
scratch, and install that distribution's version of gnuradio.  You are
way out of your depth.
