If I got a nickel for every message I've already sent supporting Microsoft
Windows and its applications I'd have enough to retire on comfortably no

Hi Jude

Have you checked if the binary makeinfo can be found somewhere and if
it is reachable by your PATH? What is the output of these commands?
find /usr /bin /sbin -name makeinfo
echo $PATH
cd ~/org-mode && make info

For the record, this is a new installation of debian wheezy and 
the makeinfo utility doesn't appear to be in the distribution let alone 
on my system.

  sudo apt-get install texinfo

I usually keep a (somewhat stale) copy of Contents-$arch.gz around and
find necessary packages with

  zegrep bin/makeinfo Contents-$arch.gz

There is (was?) a package that would make package suggestions if a
command isn't found but I can't recall its name.

Hope this helps,

Yup - I went looking for it after your comment above, something I've been
meaning to do for a while and always deferred: thanks for the push!
