Did you run 'make info'? Then you can add the directory to the
INFOPATH environment variable or expand Info-additional-directory-list.

But you can also run 'texi2pdf wl.texi' in the doc directory of wl and
then enjoy wl.pdf.

The file wl-news.el is created when you compile wl.
Otherwise the following patch is required to get rid of the error:

You have to install and setup w3m and emacs-w3m to display html
e-mails.
