Comment(by idoadam@…):

 Replying to [comment:2 vinc17@…]:

 > I don't have this problem on my machine (Mac OS X Tiger): the menus
 displayed when running "info" and what I get when pressing m then the Tab
 key give the same things. Most menus in $prefix/share/info are not listed
 (because they are not in the "dir" file); however this is not a problem
 with texinfo, but with each port that installs/uninstalls info files.

 When I run info I get no menus  at all. Pressing m and Tab gives me the
 completions corresponding to the files in /usr/share/info. I do not have
 Mac OS X 10.4 installed anymore so  I cannot check it in that version. (It
 would be nice if  MacPorts had a script for building the dir file from dir
 file snippets supplied by various ports but this is a much more involved
 and unrelated issue relating to multiple ports.)

 > I suppose you mean C-h i. I get the same thing as "info".

 Yes, I meant C-h i. It works both in the terminal version of Emacs bundles
 with OS X and with MacPorts' emacs-app-devel.

 > Could you try with INFOPATH=/opt/local/share/info to be sure you won't
 get results from directories that are not related to MacPorts?

 I have tried setting INFOPATH to /opt/local/share/info using export. As a
 result info returns the error:
 info: dir: No such file or directory
 and terminates.

 Running emacs with INFOPATH set yields the error "Can't find the Info
 directory node." This applies both to the OS X emacs and the emacs-app-
 devel port.

 BTW, I appreciate your speedy reply to this ticket and fully understand
 that it will probably not be solved unless you manage to reproduce it.
