Yes, I have the same.

Hmm, quite useless without debugging.

Hi Hilmar, I still cannot reproduce it.

Still not reproducible! If I type
info ./accounting.info.gz
(I have to use the ./... direct file specification otherwise the
accounting.info.gz from /usr/share/info is used) then I still simply
get the
No such file or directory
error?!?
Can someone please compile info with debug symbols and produce a
backtrace? I cannot reproduce it and I am a bit in the dark what
the reason could be.
Best wishes
