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.
Shiyuan

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,
