Hi,

I don't know, I don't get it and I see nothing wrong with the command 
given.
Building the doc automatically is more problems that I imagined for 
automake...
In any case, the doc is made last; so if it fails it's no big deal. The 
compiled doc is in the distributed package
anyway and you don't even need to redo it. If you want the info file 
installed, the best is then to
do "install-info mcsim.info" yourself.

Sorry about that. Maybe I should remove the troubled makefile from the 
doc directory...
