Hello,

after installing the 1.1.0 I recognized that info deos not work. When I try

info tar

I got

info: dir: No such file or directory

although I have tar.info within /usr/info. Am I missing something in my configuration ?

Regards,
Jörg

or, remount your filesystem in text-mode (fixed the problem for me!).

I used install-info to create the top level node.  Since the command has to 
be run for each file I used the following:

for FI in `ls /usr/info/*.info` ; do install-info -info-dir /usr/info 
/usr/info/$FI ;done

or something like that.

RE: info ?? gen-dir-node

FYI,

When I first read this email, I knew I had found a better way
to do this but I had to search my notes to remember it.

There is a script called gen-dir-node in the utils directory
of dist of texinfo-3.12 (actually, the one from the texinfo-4.0 is
much better since it organizes files into categories).
I copied that to the /usr/local/bin directory then ran:


gen-dir-node /usr/local/info > /usr/local/info/dir

or

cd gen-dir-node

gen-dir-node . > dir

If you want info to use files for a particular directory, you can use:

info --directory /path/to/info
