It did work.  The error was "ignored" because it is harmless.  It just means
that you do not have the necessary tool to install a link to xboard's info
file into the top-level GNU Info directory on your machine.  The program works
fine without such a link.

Whatever this is, it is unrelated to the install-info problem.  Could
you please run xboard with the -debug flag and email me the complete output
(not just one line from the error message)?  Thanks.

By the way, I have a Tru64 workstation on my desk and run xboard on it
all the time.
