title: AUCTeX Info Files in OS X
body: <p>I have Emacs installed from <a href="http://emacsformacosx.com/" rel="nofollow">http://emacsformacosx.com/</a> and AUCTeX installed from homebrew. I used the option <code>--with-emacs=/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs</code> while installing AUCTeX. I am able to successfully load <code>auctex.el</code> and <code>preview-latex.el</code> using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp")
  (require 'tex-site)
  (load "auctex.el" nil t t)
  (load "preview-latex.el" nil t t)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, AUCTeX's info files seem to be unavailable. I checked <code>/usr/share/info/</code> and <code>/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/info/</code>, the two default locations the info program searches for info files, but those related to AUCTeX are absent.</p>
  
  <p>I looked at the AUCTeX tarball from the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/download-for-macosx.html" rel="nofollow">source</a> and it does have the info files under <code>doc/</code>, which the INSTALL notes claim should be automatically installed during the installation process.</p>
  
  <p>So what I am asking is:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Does homebrew install the info files for AUCTeX? If yes, where are they located?</li>
  <li>If homebrew does not install the necessary info files, how can I copy them over from the source to the above mentioned directories. I guess I need to gzip them, so should I just include everything under the <code>doc/</code> directory?</li>
  </ol>
