#25151: info menus are not displayed --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: idoadam@… | Owner: vinc17@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.2 Keywords: | Port: texinfo --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment(by idoadam@…): Replying to [comment:2 vinc17@…]:
I don't have this problem on my machine (Mac OS X Tiger): the menus displayed when running "info" and what I get when pressing m then the Tab key give the same things. Most menus in $prefix/share/info are not listed (because they are not in the "dir" file); however this is not a problem with texinfo, but with each port that installs/uninstalls info files.
When I run info I get no menus at all. Pressing m and Tab gives me the completions corresponding to the files in /usr/share/info. I do not have Mac OS X 10.4 installed anymore so I cannot check it in that version. (It would be nice if MacPorts had a script for building the dir file from dir file snippets supplied by various ports but this is a much more involved and unrelated issue relating to multiple ports.)
I suppose you mean C-h i. I get the same thing as "info".
Yes, I meant C-h i. It works both in the terminal version of Emacs bundles with OS X and with MacPorts' emacs-app-devel.
Could you try with INFOPATH=/opt/local/share/info to be sure you won't get results from directories that are not related to MacPorts?
I have tried setting INFOPATH to /opt/local/share/info using export. As a result info returns the error: info: dir: No such file or directory and terminates. Running emacs with INFOPATH set yields the error "Can't find the Info directory node." This applies both to the OS X emacs and the emacs-app- devel port. BTW, I appreciate your speedy reply to this ticket and fully understand that it will probably not be solved unless you manage to reproduce it. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/25151#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
