Do you have a file named `dir' or `DIR' or `dir.gz' or some such in
the /usr/share/info/ directory? If not, you should run the program
called install-info on the Info files in /usr/share/info/, which will
create that `dir' file.

The value of Info-directory-list is okay, but Emacs needs to see a
file named `dir' in each one of these directories. The top-level menu
of Info manuals you see when you type "M-x info" is a concatenation of
all the `dir' files in the directories that are members of
Info-directory-list.
