I am not at my computer at the moment, so I cannot test this. However,
I noted yesterday, when browsing the GNU Octave Info File lots of
Nodes which are shown in the index are actually not present. Is this
right, or does openSUSE ship a wrong info file. Sorry, this tends to
be more an octave question, but since I am using it inside Emacs, I
ask here.
This seems to be suses fault. With Debians GNU Octave, version 3.0.0
the manual looks pretty complete here.
Maybe adjust INFO_PATH but that sounds like a Debilian bug.
Do you mean the shell-variable INFO_PATH, which I would export in my
.profile (or simialar), or do you mean something emacs-specific?
The shell variable
As stated above, just entering "info octave" in a normal terminal
works fine.
Hmm, you can try to set `Info-additional-directory-list' then, but this
actually looks more like an Emacs bug to me.
The thing is, I really want to work with octave, and I just think it
is good to look something up directly inside the environment I am
doing my octave stuff (i.e. emacs), however since I am fan of printed
works I ordered via my libary today the "GNU Octave Manual" by
J.W. Eaton (Network Theory Ltd.). Since it is not present in my
home-libary I have to wait a little bit (cause its inter-libary loan),
but I will fill out some forms today, that more "official" printed GNU
Documentation will be available in our libary soon. At present, there
is actually none :(
You can also produce pdf or ps from the texinfo sources if that is good
enough for you.
