I just removed all the files and installed all stuffs. (default) The problem is related to the new gcc-2.95.2-6. It has dir.info file in /usr/info directory and it conflicts with dir. (gcc-2.95.2-5 does not have dir.info) What I have tested is to install gcc-2.95.2-5, and do the normal thing > bash$ cd /usr/info > bash$ for f in *.info ; do install-info $f dir ; done to create a dir file. Everything is fine at this step. (info works well, too.) Then, upgrade gcc to gcc-2.95.2-6. Now, I have dir and dir.info in the /usr/info directory, and info crashes with this message : $ info 0 [main] info 711029 handle_exceptions: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION 1720 [main] info 711029 stackdump: Dumping stack trace to INFO.EXE.stackdump Segmentation fault (core dumped) The simplest way to solve this problem is to remove dir.info in /usr/info, I think. If you install gcc-2.95.2-6 from the beginning, then you still have dir.info. And you will have the same problem. My solution is to remove dir.info and to generate a new dir (Top of the INFO tree). Is this just for my PC? Does anyone have this problem? jbl
