Hello,
As stated in the subject, `make install-info' fails with a non-english
(french) locale. The reason seems to be that line 606 in Makefile.in is:
info_misc=`cd $${thisdir}/doc/misc; ${MAKE} echo-info | sed '/ing
directory/d'`; \
and the output of `${MAKE} echo-info` depends on the locale. Replacing the
above line by the following seems to solve my problem :
info_misc=`cd $${thisdir}/doc/misc; LANG=C ${MAKE} echo-info | sed '/ing
directory/d'`; \
(to be honest, I did not test from scratch, but I changed the Makefile
and it succeeded).
Also, I've been seeing this error for some time, but never had a deeper
look before now.
Regards,

Thanks, applied to emacs-24.
(I don't particularly like this 'sed' approach, so if anyone has a
better solution... It's needed because make turns on "entering
directory" messages when called recursively, and there seems to be no
portable way to turn that off. I don't want to rely on, eg assuming that
the info file names end in ".info".)
