No. There should be two files in the packet distribution, for
instance gcc.texi and texinfo.tex. The last one is usually the same in
each package. If you have TeX installed, you can do this:

	tex gcc.texi

That way a printable manual is produced from the info files. It looks
good, too, I may say. Then you only need to process the gcc.dvi
file into something you can print. "dvips" produces Postscript files.
