gcc44 fails to build due to makeinfo warning in libiberty

[nickbroon@…]

While trying to install gimp on my Lion 10.7.3 macbook air pro I get the following failure due to gcc44 not building.

Doing info in libiberty make[1]: Entering directory `/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_lang_gcc44/gcc44/work/build/libiberty' /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_lang_gcc44/gcc44/work/gcc-4.4.6/missing makeinfo --split-size=5000000 -I../../gcc-4.4.6/libiberty ../../gcc-4.4.6/libiberty/libiberty.texi WARNING: `makeinfo' is missing on your system. You should only need it if

you modified a .texi' or .texinfo' file, or any other file indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual. The spurious call might also be the consequence of using a buggy `make' (AIX, DU, IRIX). You might want to install the `Texinfo' package or the `GNU make' package. Grab either from any GNU archive site.
