Code: Select all

$ brew install gtkdialog
Outputs the following:

If reporting this issue please do so at (not Homebrew/brew or Homebrew/core):
https://github.com/amiaopensource/homeb ... aos/issues

The error says it can't find the "makeinfo" command, but it has been installed by the "texi2html" package.

[SOLUTION]
Seems the package "texinfo" was missing.
