I don't think that is necessary.
I just removed all the files and installed all stuffs. (default)
The problem is related to the new gcc-2.95.2-6.
It has dir.info file in /usr/info directory and it conflicts with dir.
(gcc-2.95.2-5 does not have dir.info)
What I have tested is to install gcc-2.95.2-5, and do the normal thing
> bash$ cd /usr/info
> bash$ for f in *.info ; do install-info $f dir ; done
to create a dir file.
Everything is fine at this step. (info works well, too.)
Then, upgrade gcc to gcc-2.95.2-6.
Now, I have dir and dir.info in the /usr/info directory, and info crashes with this message :
$ info
0 [main] info 711029 handle_exceptions: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
1720 [main] info 711029 stackdump: Dumping stack trace to INFO.EXE.stackdump Segmentation fault (core dumped)
The simplest way to solve this problem is to remove dir.info in /usr/info, I think.
If you install gcc-2.95.2-6 from the beginning, then you still have dir.info.
And you will have the same problem.
My solution is to remove dir.info and to generate a new dir (Top of the INFO tree).
Is this just for my PC?
Does anyone have this problem?
