Yes, there are specific instructions for texinfo.tex, as seen in
INSTALL:
* texinfo.tex and the other *.tex files are not installed by
`make install', because there is no reliable way to know where to
install them. Instead, you have to run an additional make command
after the normal make install:
make TEXMF=/your/texmf install-tex
texinfo.tex is installed in ${TEXMF}/tex/texinfo/texinfo.tex, etc.
