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.
