Hi Alan,
This is how I do it.
1. Compile the .texi source
i.e. makeinfo org.texi
(You should find org.texi in the doc directory)
That will result in a file simply called "org"
2. Put it into the right directory - can be /home/glyn/info
3. Use install-info to edit file
ie - in ~/info
install-info org dir
where dir is the local info header file :-)
I also have this in my init.el
(setq Info-default-directory-list (cons "/home/glyn/info/" Info-default-directory-list))
Then it should appear in Emacs' info-reader
