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.

Try:
sudo make .install-info while in the org directory and see what happens.

Thanks, tried that but got same error. In any case the directory is
owned by me, so it shouldn't be a permission problem.

I think your info setup is a bit different. It would help if you could
describe it briefly. In any case, I would recommend you take a look at
this FAQ; maybe the answer is already there. :)

I have found the problem, the clue was in the error message:) When I was
using Debian/Ubuntu I got fed up of trying to get the info file to
install in the "correct" place. Using a large bit of duck tape, I put it in:
~/.emacs.d/src/info org
then defined the following key binding:
(global-set-key (kbd "<f9> i") (lambda ()
(interactive)
(info
"~/dropbox/.emacs.d/src/org-mode/doc/org")))
Since this isn't an info directory it doesn't contain a "dir" file for
install-info to update, so make-info complains.
I have now stuck some duck tape on the Makefile and changed make-info to
a simple "cp" command to get the file into the place where I want it.
Ian.

Why not remove the duck tape altogether and let 'make install' stick the
info file where it belongs?

Achim.

What are the permissions on the directory and what is the OS? Unless
install-info has a bug on your system, it should create a "dir" file if
it cannot find one. It seems that it has tried to do that, but failed.

Achim.
