Subject: Re: question about configuring or calling info

Hi,

Quoting Charles Russell <crussell@uabmc.edu>:

My guess is the dir file in /usr/info has been clobbered by one of the 
distributions.  Try rebuilding it with the following shell script:

-----8<-----
#!/bin/bash
for f in /usr/info/*.info; do
    install-info --dir-file=/usr/info/dir  --info-file=$f
done
echo Now edit /usr/info/dir
-----8<-----

I added the last hint as I want to go over the dir file install-info produced.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Karel
