Just a guess: I'm wondering if "docbook2x-texi" is some Linuxism that  
the git sources rely upon. The docbook2x documentation calls the  
program which creates texinfo output "docbook2texi". You might get  
away with creating a symlink called /usr/local/bin/docbook2x-texi  
pointing to that script (which presumably is installed after you built  
and installed the docbook2x tarball).

regards,
Markus
