I've downloaded the source package and navigated to ./doc diretory

Where I find several *.texi files
I created a test area then copied all *.texi to it

When I try to run makeinfo as you suggest I get the warnings below and
nothing is built.  (no info files)

This is texinfo-4.13

In the source directory ./doc... the info files have been compiled and
are present when I unpack the tarball.  They are dated Apr 18 2005

Here again the `i' index search fails when I load these info files.
