Okay I was a little mistaken. The following causes C-h i in emacs to
display a blank page. But the command-line info still works. But there
isn't a 'bbdb' node entry.
TEXINPUTS=$TEXINPUTS:$HOME/bbdb-2.2/tex
INFOPATH=$INFOPATH:$HOME/bbdb-2.2/texinfo
By the way, before doing the above I checked to see what the existing
$INFOPATH and $TEXINPUTS environment variables were set
to. Nothing. They didn't contain anything.
So I used the INFOPATH that you suggested above:
INFOPATH=${INFOPATH}:$HOME/bbdb-2.2/texinfo
Now the command-line info doesn't work. It displays:
info: dir: No such file or directory
And C-h i in emacs still displays a blank page.
No, there is no 'dir' file in the $HOME/bbdb-2.2/texinfo dir. There
is, however, a Makefile. So I did a 'make' and got tons of these types
of "errors:"
Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph at lines 3295--3297
@textrm List (non-
But it did create some .dvi and other files. Still no 'dir' file. I
read the man page for /sbin/install-info. Still not sure what to
do. It says the cmd line is:
install-info [OPTION]... [INFO-FILE [DIR-FILE]]
I noticed in the $HOME/bbdb-2.2/texinfo dir there is a file named
'bbdb.info'. So I tried:
/sbin/install-info --info-file=bbdb.info
But got the following error:
install-info: No dir file specified; try --help for more information.
Is it not possible to distribute an installation script with the bbdb
program that will appropriately install all these things? ? Or is bbdb
meant for developer-level only type people? Or am I just so completely
retarded that I shouldn't even be using it?
I just want to be able to save contact information, like an address
book, and be able to email people in it without having to cut 'n paste
from an ascii document into gnus.
