The doc for Info-default-directory-list says: ,---- | Once Info is started, the list of directories to search | comes from the variable `Info-directory-list'. | This variable `Info-default-directory-list' is used as the default | for initializing `Info-directory-list' when Info is started, unless | the environment variable INFOPATH is set. `---- IIUC, this implies that INFOPATH has to encompass *all* the places where info files should be searched for. In my case, I have the following in my .profile: - --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- # standard places INFOPATH=/usr/local/info:/usr/local/share/info:/usr/info:/usr/share/info ... # org info dir INFOPATH=/home/nick/src/emacs/org/org-mode/doc:$INFOPATH export INFOPATH - --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Nick
