<para>The Info documentation system uses a plain text file to hold its
|
|
list of menu entries. The file is located at
|
|
<filename>/usr/share/info/dir</filename>. Unfortunately, due to
|
|
occasional problems in the Makefiles of various packages, it can
|
|
sometimes get out of step with the Info manuals installed on the
|
|
system. If the <filename>/usr/share/info/dir</filename> file ever
|
|
needs to be recreated, the following optional commands will accomplish
|
|
the task:</para>

|
|
|
<screen><userinput>cd /usr/share/info
|
|
rm dir
|
|
for f in *
