Ah, that was it. I had added /usr/local/bin to my path AFTER I built the OE
environment script. The OE environment script inherited my path at the time,
which did not yet have the path to the texi2html location.

This explains why I could find texi2html from the shell, but the OE script
couldn't.

Thanks for the tip,
Michael
