Re: [Orgmode] install and info
Hi everyone, I'd be happy to change the default to infodir = $(prefix)/share/info if this is a better default for most systems. Is it better? So could people on different systems out there please check where the standard info directory is located?

This debian system probably has a different install-info program as most of other system does. On mine system: install-info (GNU texinfo) 4.13 Usage: install-info [OPTION]...

Richard, the section of the Makefile you are referring to begins with: ##-- ## YOU MUST EDIT THE FOLLOWING LINES ##-- so, please, modify your paths accordingly, or download a quite recent version of org from the Debian repository (for both testing, 6.05, and sid 6.06) cheers, Giovanni Scopri il blog di Yahoo!
