Yes. On linux i ran (sudo) make install-info and then insured /usr/local/info was on my info-directory-list I also deleted any old org files lying around. I dont know, info files and their set up is just damn confusing IMO, especially with plenty of makefiles updating the wrong dir file. - its always worth checking which define they use for their destination infopath. > > Cheers > > Will > >> HTH, _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
