[Mac OS X TeX] texinfo problems

[Serge COHEN]

Hello;

I'm using teTeX with TeXshop on MacOS X. I want to process some texinfo
files (mans from GNU), using pdflatex.
anytime I start pdflatex with some .txi file it crashes after giving the
following message.

Anybody has experienced problems with texinfo and teTeX for darwin?

Thanks for any answer (even if you just had the same trouble)

Serge.

PS: I've tried tex -> dvips -> ps2pdf. It works, but the font quality is
very low, and the text is hard to read.
