Daniel what OS are you using? It works fine for me on 5.6.10 with FC17: [zzz@fc17 docs]$ info --version info (GNU texinfo) 4.13 [sbester@fc17 docs]$ md5sum mysql.info 283ae6b71cd4d39b73d62ec81749d2f6 mysql.info [sbester@fc17 docs]$ pwd /home/zzz/mysql/release/mysql-advanced-5.6.10-linux-glibc2.5-x86_64/docs

It's Ubuntu 12.10. I've used the mysql.info file from the community version, which apparently has a different MD5 checksum than the mysql.info file from the enterprise (advanced) version. I wonder why the file is different between enterprise and community versions? $ tar zxf mysql-5.6.10-linux-glibc2.5-x86_64.tar.gz $ cd mysql-5.6.10-linux-glibc2.5-x86_64/docs $ info --version info (GNU texinfo) 4.13 Copyright (C) 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

"I wonder why the file is different between enterprise and community versions?" The manual is updated often (several times a day, typically). If community and enterprise builds are not created at the same time, the manual could indeed differ.

Does the beginning of your file look like this? This is manual.info, produced by makeinfo version 4.8 from manual.texi. START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY * mysql: (mysql). MySQL documentation. END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY ^_ File: manual.info, Node: Top, Next: preface, Prev: (dir), Up: (dir)

I downloaded mysql-5.6.10-linux-glibc2.5-x86_64.tar.gz, changed location into the doc directory, and tried "info mysql.info". No problem. % md5sum mysql.info a80682dc4e541c26a075a10e8462b679 mysql.info

Thank you for the bug report. Verified on OpenSuse 12.3 X86_64: miguel@tikal:~> cd mysql-5.6.10-linux-glibc2.5-x86_64/ miguel@tikal:~/mysql-5.6.10-linux-glibc2.5-x86_64> cd docs/ miguel@tikal:~/mysql-5.6.10-linux-glibc2.5-x86_64/docs> info -f mysql.info info: Cannot find node `Top'. miguel@tikal:~/mysql-5.6.10-linux-glibc2.5-x86_64/docs> info --version info (GNU texinfo) 4.13 Copyright (C) 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

@Paul Dubois: "info mysql.info" does not read the mysql.info file in the same directory: it used the global mysql.info. It probably works in every directory.

In fact I tried it several ways: info mysql.info info -f mysql.info info ./mysql.info info -f ./mysql.info No problems on Mac OS X, Gentoo Linux, Red Hat Linux reading the mysql.info from the MySQL distribution. However, I did find on Red Hat that had a "system" version installed somewhere that both of the first two commands read that file. I had to use ./mysql.info to get info to read the "local" copy in my working directory. So perhaps "info -f mysql.info" is not actually reading the file you expect it to read?

Cannot reproduce on opensuse. Worked for me with same file.

Tested it on: Ubuntu 13.04 with MySQL 5.6.10: Couldn't reproduce it there. Ubuntu 12.04.2 with MySQL 5.6.11: Reproducable. So I guess it's reproducable on Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10.
