Emacs version: 19.25.2
hardware: SGI Indigo 2 XZ (150 MHz R4400)
configuration: mips-sgi-irix5.2
prefix directory: /sw/ADDS/emacs25
compiler: cc
options: -g -O
special: emacs was stripped after installation to save disk space.
Problem description:
-------------------
Info mode (C-h i) gives error message, "Can't find the info directory
node".
This was not a problem with 19.22, compiled on the same machine and
installed the same way.
What works:
----------
Invoking info interactively with any info file other than 'dir'. Example:
<ESC> 1 <ESC> x info <RET> /sw/ADDS/emacs25/info/emacs <RET>
What I've verified:
------------------
1) The /sw/ADDS/emacs25/info directory was installed.
2) The 'dir' file exists.
3) The /sw/ADDS/emacs25/info directory and all files therein have
world read access.
4) Emacs can visit all of the files in the /sw/ADDS/emacs25/info directory.
If you need any more information, please let me know.
