Hi,
when I do `M-x info' in Emacs I only have these five entries:
,----
| Programming
| * Cpp: The GNU C preprocessor.
| * Cpplib: Cpplib internals.
| * gcc: The GNU Compiler Collection.
| * gccinstall: Installing the GNU Compiler Collection.
| * gccint: Internals of the GNU Compiler Collection.
`----
When I invoke `info' in a terminal I get many, many more nodes.
,----
| (%:~)- echo $INFOPATH
| /usr/share/info:/usr/share/gcc-data/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4/info
`----
One interesting thing is that the files of the five nodes I get with
`M-x info' are the ones in the second/last directory of INFOPATH. But
the 262 info pages in /usr/share/info/ are ignored.
After starting info:
,----[ C-h v Info-directory-list RET ]
| Info-directory-list's value is
| ("/usr/share/info" "/usr/share/gcc-data/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4/info")
`----
So it got initialized with the value of INFOPATH.
Can anybody help me?
Much thanks in advance,
Tassilo

Contrary to popular belief, Unix is user friendly.
It just happens to be selective about who it makes friends with.
