Thanks for reply.
I am using the CVS version. But when I try
(add-to-list 'Info-directory-list "~/repos/el/auctex/doc")
emacs complaints
Symbol's value as variable is void: Info-directory-list
What could go wrong? Thanks.

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,

You have to change the "~/repos/el/auctex/doc" to wherever you installed
auctex info files. Tassilo was simply giving an example from his setup.
Based on your last post I would think the correct sexp should be:
(add-to-list 'Info-default-directory-list
(expand-file-name "/opt/share/info"))

the Info-directory-list is void. I cannot find the the variable by C-h v.

Info-default-directory-list will not be used if INFOPATH is defined but
Info-directory-list should always be defined and used. But How comes I
cannot see it? Thanks.

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.
