The Info path actually used in Emacs is `Info-directory-list', which is initialized according to the value of `Info-default-directory-list' when you invoke the info command for the first time. There are at least two possible causes by which you don't see the No Gnus Info. One is that you have the INFOPATH environment variable. In that case, the directories in `Info-directory-list' will be in the order of the ones of INFOPATH and the ones of `Info-default-directory-list'. The other is that `Info-directory-list' has already a non-nil value for some reason before initializing. In the later case, `Info-directory-list' will not reflect the value of `Info-default-directory-list'. Well, though it might not necessarily be a proper solution, to set `Info-directory-list' directly is easy. For example: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (require 'info) (info-initialize) (add-to-list 'Info-directory-list "/usr/local/src/gnus/texi/") --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Regards,
