Debian and Ubuntu should be the same I would think since Ubunti is Debian based. But there is an org which ships with emacs. I would expect the info file from that to be there. If one installs from CVS/git should it not be in /usr/local/share/info ? I really am not sure personally and frequently have had issues with other packages and the installation and location of Info files. > > -Bernt > > Carsten Dominik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > >> Hi everyone, >> >> I'd be happy to change the default to >> >> infodir = $(prefix)/share/info >> >> >> if this is a better default for most systems.
