I'd found that info v4.2 was not working for me, % info info "info: dir: No such file or directory"
Playing around with it for a while, it seems that info works best when INFOPATH is not defined and /usr/info/dir, rather than /usr/share/info/dir, is the primary index. Even when an up-to-date /usr/info/dir is present, if an INFOPATH is defined, I will see something like "Unable to find node referenced by `gcc' in `(dir)Top'." for some entries like gcc. Running 'strings /bin/info.exe | grep usr' reveals a reference to /usr/info, but not to /usr/share/info, which may suggest a reason for part of what I've seen. I don't know where the info.exe source is - doing a setup package search for info or info.exe does not seem to be helpful in locating it. Any hints? Can someone explain why INFOPATH seems to muck-up the behavior of info and why /usr/share/info has been chosen for the default location of the dir file, rather than /usr/info?
