I am trying to install gobby onto my computer and I get this error:

Any help solving the problem would be greatly appreciated.

Are you on 10.4 or 10.5? If 10.4, perhaps gnutls needs a newer version of makeinfo than that shipped with the OS; if that's the case try installing the texinfo port first, then try your original install again.

I am on 10.4. Installing the texinfo port fixed the problem.

Thanks for your help.

texinfo added as a dependency for 10.4 in r50837, thanks for confirming.
