Yes you need TeX to print manuals from these sources, or you can save
yourself time, money, headaches ... by ordering printed versions from
the Free Software Foundation. They are very reasonably priced and the
revenues are being put to great uses (many would agree) in helping
to finance the GNU project.

I've built TeX on Atari ST specifically to print GNU manuals. I've also
purchased GNU manuals at the local university bookstore. I owe my intro-
duction to unix to FSF's adoption of texinfo as a documentation format
( i had too learn pseudo-unix on atari ) and I thank RMS et_al for that. 

But buying the bound printed manual is the better deal unless you put 
TeX to additional uses.
