Hi Ralf,

I installed makeinfo (texinfo-4.13) and re-bootstrapped ...

... and ran into the next error:

/u/fzj301zm/BlueGene/fortran_libraries_on_the_blue_gene_with_mpi/libtool/libltdl/config/missing:
line 54: help2man: command not found
WARNING: `help2man' is missing on your system.  You should only need it if
         you modified a dependency of a manual page.  You may need the
         `Help2man' package in order for those modifications to take
         effect.  You can get `Help2man' from any GNU archive site.
gmake[2]: *** [../doc/libtoolize.1] Error 1

After installing help2man I was able to run the tests.

Cheers,
Christian
