Hi Bjarni,

has the issue been solved eventually in info 6.8?

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00005555555657ee in info_get_menu_entry_by_label (node=node@entry=0x0, label=label@entry=0x5555555c2050 "bash",

   Probable cause is an empty "/usr/local/share/info/dir".
I was compiling the latest "automake" and "autoconf" and could not get
to see the corresponding info files with
INFOPATH=/usr/local/share/info:/usr/share/info:/home/bg/git/groff/build/doc

   I do not know how to populate the "dir" directory, did not find
anything in the "info info" output.

   To see the latest info-file I tried "info -f automake" and that showed
the new version.
