Hi Tim.
What happens if you evaluate (info), does that take you to the main
info page? What happens when you hit C-h k C-h i ? I get the message:
C-h i runs the command info
which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `info'.
(info &optional FILE)
where `info' takes me to the file
/usr/share/emacs/21.4/lisp/info.el
Which Linux distro are you using? I'm using Ubuntu Breezy and the same
emacs version as you do and I didn't have to fiddle with the infopath
shell variable at all (in fact the variable is unset and echo
$INFOPATH gives a blank line) and my info pages works fine.
Hope any of this was usefull to you and good luck!
