I did some testing, and it seems that it needs to be export TEXINPUTS=/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/texinfo:$TEXINPUTS Alternatively, if /usr/local/share/texmf/ is already in the path but with the ls-R file indexing (I think that this is shown by !!/usr/local/share/texmf/tex// being in kpsewhich -show-path=tex ), it should be possible to run, as root mktexlsr /usr/local/share/texmf/ To test which texinfo.tex is found, it seems that kpsewhich texinfo.tex is the best to use, and kpsewhich -all texinfo.tex shows all the files found. -- Pat
