texi2html is part of newer tex distributions, such teTeX.
It is needed to produe the HTML version of the documentation.
Since you're using emacs, I hope you can work with the info documentation
more easilty instead.

The HTML doc is also available from  http://stat.ethz.ch/ESS/

However, in order to use ESS, it's not necessary to do "make",
just add the necessary  (load ...) or (require ..) to your ~/.emacs
as indicated in the INSTALL / README file.

I hope this helps!
