I'm running the packages

$ rpm -q octave info
octave-2.0.14-1
info-3.12f-4

on a RedHat 6.0 system.  When I try

 help -i something

and there is help available, everything is OK.
When there is no help available, I get

no index entries found for `something'
error: help: unable to find info
error: help: you need info 2.18 or later (texinfo 3.12)
error: evaluating index expression near line 1, column 1

The last three lines are a little confusing.

Dirk
