I applied Achim's patch and it works on my Ubuntu system (I get the same warning that this is GNU install-info, not dpkg install-info that Jude gets, which is fine - if that's all that's different, then we can document that). However, I don't understand how changing the command affects other systems: in particular OS X and/or Windows (as well as other Linux distros and other Unixes), so I will plead "nolo contendere" here, but I wouldn't apply it until people on those systems test it and report success. My worry is this: before Achim's patch, the "other" systems run the following command: $(INSTALL_INFO) --info-file=$(INFOFILES) --info-dir=$(infodir) I presume without trouble. After his patch, they run $(INSTALL_INFO) --infodir=$(infodir) $(INFOFILES) Does the install-info on other systems really grok the --infodir option? Isn't it just straight GNU install-info? What am I missing? Nick
