Hello,
I am using Ubuntu 12.10, unfortunately the Debian texinfo package does
not contain the info pages for such crucial utilities as tar, make, or
bash. To solve this problem I have downloaded some of the info pages
that I need, but while I can view the info pages by calling info
directly on the correct file, I can not open the page with a simple
"info bash" command nor can I add the info page into the top level
info index.
I tried setting the INFOPATH variable in my bashrc
export INFOPATH=$INFOPATH:"/home/andrew/info"
However, this does not work, I do not know if the usage of the
INFOPATH variable has been deprecated, but its value is simply not
respected by the info program itself. Online documentation seems to
indicate that this is the appropriate way to manually add info
documents. I hope to discover a solution.
Thank you,
Andrew.
