Subject: Problem Installing Info Files
Date: Wed, 23 May 2012 11:11:37 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4FBCB7D9.2010602@wilkesley.net> (raw)

When I run make install I am getting the following error:

make -C doc install
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ian/Dropbox/.emacs.d/src/org-mode/doc'
if [ ! -d ~/.emacs.d/src/info ]; then mkdir -p ~/.emacs.d/src/info; else 
true; fi ;
install -p org ~/.emacs.d/src/info
install-info --infodir=~/.emacs.d/src/info org
~/.emacs.d/src/info/dir: could not read (No such file or directory) and 
could not create (No such file or directory)
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ian/Dropbox/.emacs.d/src/org-mode/doc'
make: *** [install-doc] Error 2


The ~/.emacs.d/src/info exists and is writable. The file 
/.emacs.d/src/org-mode/doc/org exists and looks like an info file. I 
have install-info installed.

Running:

install-info --infodir=~/.emacs.d/src/info org

from the directory containing org gives the following error:

~/.emacs.d/src/info/dir: could not read (No such file or directory) and 
could not create (No such file or directory)

However, the org info file is copied into the directory. So it appears 
to be a problem with install-info. I have now run out of ideas.

Ian.
