How to install autopoint and makeinfo on Oracle Linux 9

user-xilvaFeb 14 2023

Hello, I am a newbie of Oracle Linux, and tried to build some software on Oracle Linux 9, but met following errors:

$ ./bootstrap
./bootstrap: line 568: autopoint: command not found
./bootstrap: Error: 'autopoint' not found
./bootstrap: line 568: makeinfo: command not found
./bootstrap: Error: 'makeinfo' not found

Per my understanding, autopoint should belong to gettext package, and makeinfo should belong to texinfo. I have installed gettext and not found texinfo:

$ sudo dnf install gettext
Last metadata expiration check: 2:27:51 ago on Tue 14 Feb 2023 03:00:54 PM.
Package gettext-0.21-7.el9.x86_64 is already installed.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!
$ sudo dnf install texinfo
Last metadata expiration check: 2:28:29 ago on Tue 14 Feb 2023 03:00:54 PM.
No match for argument: texinfo
Error: Unable to find a match: texinfo

Anyone can give some help about how to install autopoint and makeinfo? Thanks very much in advance!
