Search for "info" in the R Installation and Administration manual:

http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html

"You will not be able to build the info files unless you have makeinfo 
version 4.7 or later installed."

Reading the manual usually helps - saying what platform you are trying to 
build on also helps, here the platform will guide you to the appropriate 
sections of the manual. I expect that you will usually want access to 
these formats of the help pages.
