Subject: accessing own info files

Message-ID: <87y95qr0ae.fsf@antithese.de> (raw)

Hi,

I want to use some info files I installed locally in ~/elisp/info

So far, I have set
INFOPATH=/usr/info/:/usr/share/info/:/usr/share/info/emacs-21/
        :/home/mbelow/elisp/info/

As far as I understand the Info documentation, the info mode merges
info files from all those directories into the top menu. But it
doesn't happen... As a next step, I tried making a "dir" file of my
own in /home/mbelow/elisp/info , because I thought maybe those dir
files are being merged. This changed the behaviour of info, but not as
intended: I keep getting 

Search Failed: "
^_"

whenever I call info.

Also I have tried to run "info -f elisp/info/dir", that tells me:
info: Cannot find node `Top'.

Below is my dir file, any ideas?

Ciao
  Michael
