Hello Mike,

Hi Terry, this is a known bug due to distributions compressing the
Texinfo files. Please see bug #38305 (which has an arcane description
but is the underlying cause) [1]. Short of fixing that bug, the only
workaround for now is to uncompress the info files.

A follow up on this, if I may.
Looking at the content of my rpm, I find files like "octave.info.gz",
"octave.info-1.gz" etc, that are packaged in /usr/share/info. Are these
the files that need to be uncompressed, or am I looking in the wrong place?
Cheers,
