Hello,

I tried a fresh installation on a computer and compiled a new kernel 
(2.6.19.2) and patched the kernel with the right patch that can be found 
in the CVS-version of today 7 februari 2007.

After booting with the new kernel I tried compiling click. Make worked 
without any problem. It seems it has compiled the kernel-modules.

When I try "make install" it gives errors. I do not have these errors 
with the stable version of click.

The error is:

I installed the texinfo package, so the makeinfo command works. I doubt 
my make version would be "buggy", it's the standard GNU make. The 
test-system is running Xubuntu 6.10 with a vanilla kernel.


What could be wrong here?
