I don't use info, I use emacs's info reader.  But probably it's the
same.
    You need a file called dir which lives in whatever directory info
searches.  This file should look something like the following (the ^_
in line 5 should be control-underscore, but I replaced it with text.)

************ begin: this line is not part of the dir file ******************
-*- Text -*-
This is the file .../info/dir, which contains the topmost node of the
Info hierarchy.  The first time you invoke Info you start off
looking at that node, which is (dir)Top.
^_
File: dir	Node: Top	This is the top of the INFO tree
  This (the Directory node) gives a menu of major topics. 
  Typing "d" returns here, "q" exits, "?" lists all INFO commands, "h" 
  gives a primer for first-timers, "mTexinfo<Return>" visits Texinfo topic,
  etc.
  --- PLEASE ADD DOCUMENTATION TO THIS TREE. (See INFO topic first.) ---

* Menu: The list of major topics begins on the next line.

* Info: (info).	Documentation browsing system.

* Emacs: (emacs).  The extensible self-documenting text editor.

* Nemacs: (nemacs). Japanese version of Emacs.

* VIP: (vip).   A VI-emulation for Emacs.

* GDB: (gdb).   The source-level C debugger.

* Texinfo: (texinfo).
		With one source file, make either a printed manual
		(through TeX) or an Info file (through texinfo).
		Full documentation in this menu item.

* Termcap: (termcap).
		The termcap library, which enables application programs
		to handle all types of character-display terminals.


************ end:  this line is not part of the dir file ******************

Of course, it should be fixed to reflect the info files you have
installed.
    Hope this helps.
