Hi

have Mdk 10.1 info command not found

I have installed texinfo and gettext......info run as normal or su user fails.

I can run man command ok as a normal user.

Anyone know what I am missing?

Something has gone wrong with the installation of texinfo.

What is the output of the following commands?

ls -l /usr/bin/info
rpm -q texinfo

rpm -q texinfo > texinfo-4.7-2mdk

ls -l /usr/bin/info > No such file or directory Uh-oh

also I ran

urmpi texinfo > everything installed

Hmmmm.

How about these commands...

locate -i info

rpm -ql texinfo | grep bin

solved

I was missing that package off my GPL cds and yes I have searched. From another site we did this

PACK=info; rpm -q $PACK && ls -l $(rpm -ql $PACK)
package info is not installed

PACK=info-install; rpm -q $PACK && ls -l $(rpm -ql $PACK)

Now I know you think I am deceiving you but your other post said you need to install a package and I inferred you meant info-install or texinfo based on their descriptions being closest to INFO .it was not the answer.....reason for delay.

So, I went to rpmfind.net and found the info rpm file and installed it and that solved it
My GPL Mdk 10.1 does NOT have info rpm file on any cd.....and I have searched.

I put it down to a missing package.

happy new year.

ps


BUT NOW

urmpi info output gives
The following packages contain info:
info-install
mp3info
pinfo
procinfo
shared-mime-info
texinfo
xsysinfo


still no info showing up but info now works

for those sharing same missing package here is the one I used
(I have an amd64 but running as 32bit)

Well done on sorting that out. Yeah, I did a quick check on my system and thought that texinfo.rpm was the package that supplied /usr/bin/info. If it works for you now, I wouldn't worry about there being no mention of info in the urmpi output.

Happy new year,

John
