How can I identify the problem and fix it? Thanks. You have to add the directory containing the info file (or to be more precise, the dir [directory index] file) to `Info-directory-list'. That's what I do for AUCTeX from CVS: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (add-to-list 'Info-directory-list "~/repos/el/auctex/doc") --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- For generating the info docs, you have to run $ make docs in the auctex checkout (probably, "make all" also creates the docs). In addition, you have to create a directory index in doc/ that lists the 2 manuals (auctex itself plus the preview-latex docs). This can be done easily like so: $ pwd /path/to/auctex $ cd docs $ install-info auctex.info dir $ install-info preview-latex.info dir HTH, Tassilo
