Did you install Texinfo with "make install", as expected? Assuming you used some sane vale of the --prefix configure option, "make install" should have made sure every executable is on PATH from the get-go. Since you say you need to add some directory to PATH, I suspect that instead of a normal install you did something "by hand", and now the thing crumbles under you feet because of that. Texinfo is not guaranteed to work correctly unless you install it after building using the provided "make install" procedure (followed by a manual install of texinfo.tex, if needed). If you didn't do that, things will fall apart, and please don't expect this list to support you in that adventure.
