How can I identify the problem and fix it? 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).

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

=A0$ make docs

in the auctex checkout (probably, "make all" also creates the doc= s). =A0In
addition, you have to create a directory index in doc/ that lists the 2
manuals (auctex itself plus the preview-latex docs). =A0This can be done easily like so:

=A0$ pwd
=A0/path/to/auctex
=A0$ cd docs
=A0$ install-info auctex= .info dir
=A0$ install-info preview-latex.info dir
