Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the [email protected] mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I have Emacs from cvs built and installed locally on my Mac. ( make
install  installs Emacs.app under <cvs-root>/nextstep) The Emacs info
manual that shows up within this is not the manual that is in the cvs
tree but is the  manual from my Carbon Emacs installation.

I believe this is because the path Info-default-directory-list has the
wrong directory. It lists
<cvs-root>/nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/share/info (and also
a bunch of other directory but nothing else is under Emacs.app). This
directory doesn't exist but this one does:
<cvs-root>/nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/info (ie - there is
no share subdirectory under Resources). Therefore I guess
Info-directory-list gets initialized wrong.
