You need to type "info coreutils" ("info ls" doesn't work either under Debian, so I suppose that this form is not supported). > it responds with > dir: no such file I don't have this error. Instead I get the ls manpage. Your problem may be that you don't have a /opt/local/share/info/dir file, but the bug comes from the ports that install info files. On my machine, only gsl updated the dir file, with: post-install { system "install-info ${destroot}${prefix}/share/info/gsl-ref.info ${prefix}/share/info/dir" } but IMHO, this is incorrect: to be correct, the dir file should be updated by post-activate (to install) and post-deactivate (with the --delete option of install-info). Is there any documentation about that? -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
