When an info file is installed, an entry is added to the dir file in $INFODIR (in your case it is /opt/share/info) and the info file itself is placed in the same directory (usually after gzipping). How do you install the info file, do you run install-info? Usually the Makefile should have a rule like install-info. So you could install the info files like this: $ make install-info If that doesn't work, you can try installing by hand like this: $ install-info --infodir=/opt/share/info /path/to/auctex.info-1 But please backup before you try this as I have not tried this myself.
