Then try something like this very early in your init file instead:

(setenv "INFOPATH" "/opt/share/info:$INFOPATH" t)
By adding this line,  the correct location of the info files are in the Info-directory-list. However, I sill could not find the node AUCTeX under emacs info mode.  And it cannot be located by C-h i m auctex. Is it hidding deep down some other nodes. But I can see the info by using the linux command line: info auctex.   
Thanks.
