After fixing a few other problems associated with the following
x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc: error: MiscXS.c: No such file or directory
The fix was done by doing
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install build-essential
Now I run into a different problem, namely
texi2pdf 06a-amcoh.texi
/usr/local/bin/texi2dvi: texinfo.tex appears to be broken.
This may be due to the environment variable TEX set to something
other than (plain) tex, a corrupt texinfo.tex file, or
to tex itself simply not working.
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.18 (TeX Live 2017/Debian)
(preloaded format=etex)
restricted \write18 enabled.
