I've been trying to decipher the necessary syntax for intall-info. `man install-info' and `info install-info' have different opinions about how it works.
`info install-info' says point blank that: `install-info some.info dir' will install some.info entry in dir and even create dir if necessary. When I run that command, I get `too many arguments' I tried many many other combos, specifying names with the long options too. I can write to the default /usr/info/dir all right but cannot find a way to generate a dir file. So to get to the point here, I'm trying to do this: cd to a hand built package `tramp' and make a dir file in its texi directory to point the reader at. I don't want to put it in the default site wide /usr/info/dir so in /usr/local/tramp/texi I want to insert /usr/local/tramp/texi/tramp.info into /usr/local/tramp/texi/dir I don't want to create `dir' by hand. install-info is supposed to be able to create it for me. For a one time deal, I know how to get the job done by hand but want to let the tools do the work. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
