So apparently its something a little harder to identify... can anyone
coach me a bit on what I should be looking for, or futher steps to
find what is causing the problem?
I have
Info-default-directory-list is a variable defined in `paths.el'.
Its value is
("/usr/local/share/info/" "/usr/local/info/" "/usr/local/gnu/info/"
"/usr/local/gnu/lib/info/" "/usr/local/gnu/lib/emacs/info/" "/usr/
local/emacs/info/" "/usr/local/lib/info/" "/usr/local/lib/emacs/
info/" "/usr/share/info/" "/usr/local/share/info/")
So it's obvious that not the info files need to be listed but the
directories where they can be found.
Actually I think what you try is the wrong way or place to customise:
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.
C-h v <variable> RET or C-h f <function> RET or the same when the
cursor is on a variable's or function's name somewhere in GNU Emacs
are really nice and helpful things.
