FWIW,
 I have Ubuntu 8.04 installed with vmware on a Win XP Pro box. 
 I tried to install 5.19.1 with the default clisp and cmucl which are 
installed with apt-get.
 The configure scripts work fine, but the 'make' command bombs out 
because of doc problems with
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/maxima-5.19.1/doc/info'
make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/maxima-5.19.1/doc/info'
makeinfo --split-size=1000000 maxima.texi
/bin/bash: makeinfo: command not found
make[3]: *** [maxima.info] Error 127
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/maxima-5.19.1/doc/info'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/maxima-5.19.1/doc/info'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/maxima-5.19.1/doc'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

I had this problem fefore with an earlier version even in Fedora, and it 
was fixed (I think the proper doc directory was not referenced somewhere).

On my old Fedora Core 6 box the following script worked --inluding the 
make. 
./configure --with-cmucl --enable-gcl --enable-clisp 
make
