Sorry. I now updated my system to texinfo-5.2.

However, when I run "make pdf V=1", I get this:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/me/src/test/doc'

        MAKEINFO='/bin/sh /home/me/src/test/build-aux/missing makeinfo   -I .' \

Can this be due to the fact that my version of pdfetex is too old? (Or is it pdfeTeXk? Is it the same thing?)

Well, that's clearly insufficient information to know what the problem
is. It's too bad that automake helpfully omits all the output
from TeX. Maybe if you run make V=1 and/or texi2pdf by hand, you
will be able to see the actual error message(s).

As a stab in the dark (especially based on your texi2dvi version), maybe
it is just that your texinfo.tex is too old. You could try getting the
current version from http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/texinfo/texinfo.tex.

Best,
