Well, we place relevant make world info into /use/share/info and I can see those docs a-ok. gcc, bison, gawk, etc. The problem comes when I install ports, they place info documents into /usr/local/info. And when I try to info for example libtool which is present in there it doesn't `know' about the .info file. Now. I know info can accept a longoption to specify the directories to look for, but given that the average user nowadays doesn't seem to bother to man info before looking further and that I am fairly positive that this used to work before and I wonder if something is b0rked. Suggestions and all that are welcome. -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven/Asmodai asmodai@[wxs.nl|bart.nl] Documentation nutter. *BSD: Technical excellence at its best...
