[Buildroot] {Spam?} Re: buildroot-20070604.tar.bz2 dont compile under redhat9

[Rod Boyce <buildroot@teamboyce.co.uk>]

Zhangsn,

It seems that your Linux box does not have all the packages need to 
build.  With fedora you should try 'yum install texinfo' as root.  On 
Red Hat 9 you are going to need to download and install the texinfo 
package.  This is also getting a bit off topic for build-root so I 
suggest you reinstall whatever you favorite Linux distro is and make 
sure you install all the packages and not just the default settings.

This again is not a build root issue but a generic Linux issue.

Regards,
Rod Boyce
