I'll watch your thread but I'd guess the problem is not with emacs but something in the way gentoo handles merging of dir files for info. You can read your info files by using the C-u prefix, ehtn C-h-i will prompt for a file name. For example, cd to where your emacs info files are located then: In emacs do: C-u C-h i Then type in `emacs' at the prompt (Something to use until you get info reading straightened out) Also you can set a variable in your shell 'INFOPATH' and list any directories you want emacs to scan and merge. INFOPATH:/usr/share/info:/usr/local/info[etc]:export INFOPATH And then emacs will find any info files there. A drawback to that method is that it overrides any settings the OS is doing regarding info, so if gentoo puts some info files in strange places, they won't be found. -- [email protected] mailing list
