        But why then is there an info search path at all if everything belongs
        in /usr/local/info?  I think that you are incorrect, and that is 
        still just a hack, TeX by default has these files here, and it has
        been around forever, I either need to fscking recompile with some 
        sort of compile time arg, or there is a simple elegant way to fix
        my problem. Nuff said.

                                                a.s.
