gnus cvs v0.6 info files not found

[Patrick Drechsler <patrick@pdrechsler.de>]

Hi,

after installing a current CVS version of Gnus (checked out today) the
info files are not found. Instead the Gnus info pages from Emacs are
displayed: "This manual corresponds to Gnus v5.11.".

I followed the README of the CVS, which states one should include the
following in ~/.emacs:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; CVS Gnus:
(setq load-path (cons (expand-file-name "/usr/local/src/gnus/lisp") load-path))
(require 'gnus-load)
;;* Version 1: From the README file of CVS Gnus: (does not work)
;; (require 'info)
;; (add-to-list 'Info-default-directory-list "/usr/local/src/gnus/texi/")
;;* Version 2: From various posts: (does not work either)
(require 'info)
(setq Info-default-directory-list
      (cons "/usr/local/src/gnus/texi" Info-default-directory-list)) 
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
   
Invoking Info with `C-h i d m Gnus RET' gives me Emacs' version of the
info pages. I can confirm this by attempting to open a file when this
info page is open with `C-x C-f'. This displays the location of my
current Emacs install (/usr/local/src/emacs23/emacs/info). I end up in
the same directory when starting Gnus (`M-x gnus') and typing `C-c
TAB'.

This also looks ok:

,----[ C-h v Info-default-directory-list RET ]
| Info-default-directory-list is a variable defined in `paths.el'.
| Its value is 
| ("/usr/local/src/gnus/texi" "/home/patrick/.emacs.d/mysitelisp/cedet-1.0beta3b/semantic/doc" "/home/patrick/.emacs.d/mysitelisp/ess/ess-5.3.3/doc/info/" "/usr/local/src/gnus/texi" "/usr/local/share/info/" "/usr/local/info/" "/usr/local/gnu/info/" "/usr/local/gnu/lib/info/" "/usr/local/gnu/lib/emacs/info/" "/usr/local/emacs/info/" "/usr/local/lib/info/" "/usr/local/lib/emacs/info/" "/usr/share/info/" "/usr/local/share/info/")

I installed Gnus using

compile --with-emacs=/usr/local/src/emacs23/emacs/src/emacs && make

CVS Gnus works fine otherwise.

Is there anything obvious I missed while installing CVS Gnus?

TIA,

Patrick
