Eli, if you can, what is the date on your copy of cvs info files. And how many are there? For me, with cvs 1.12.12 (client/server), The info files are already created in the sources pkg. They date from 2005 and there are 11 of them. Those files fail on an `i' (index) search with the message `no index'. (This is with yesterdays (11/01/09) cvs of emacs-23) However the index itself is there in the first page menu and can be opened and read. Just the info search fails. If I generate the info files manually using the source CVS texi and texinfo-4.13 I get 3 files and info search works fine. Further, I haven't run across any other info manuals where index search fails. (I've tried just a random selection; bash, date, tar and texinfo) So it seems not to be a general problem and would also seem to indicate its not a local problem.
