As Karl Berry explained: that's a feature. I don't want my own info files end up in /usr; my local stuff belongs to /usr/local -- stuff provided by the system belongs to /usr. Thus using $(datadir)/info is the solution (instead of the current default $(prefix)/info ). > I think that is somewhat of a problem. The "real" problem is, Emacs resp. info (the binary) will collaps /usr/share/info/dir and /usr/local/share/info/dir into one and the same TOC _unconditionally_. Thus I cannot view the Emacs manual coming with the system (21.2) and the one I installed on my own (21.3.50 in /usr/local/...) at the same time easily. -- ke@suse.de (work) / keichwa@gmx.net (home): | http://www.suse.de/~ke/ | ,__o Free Translation Project: | _-\_<, http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/HTML/ | (*)/'(*)
