after emerge app-emacs/mew info files are installed info dir, but Japanese info files are not installed. When I compile Mew from original tarball, I see these information of info fiiles installation after run ./configure. *************************** Mew configuration results *************************** use emacs : /usr/bin/emacs elisp files should go : /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/mew etc files should go : /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/mew/etc exec files should go : /home/kyanny/bin info files should go : /home/kyanny/info man files should go : /home/kyanny/man/man1 Then type 'make', 'make info' and 'make install'. For Japanese environment, also 'make jinfo' and 'make install-jinfo'. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge app-emacs/mew 2. info Mew-J 3. error: No menu item `Mew-J' in node `(dir)Top'. Actual Results: app-emacs/mew does not install Japanese info files. Expected Results: app-emacs/mew install Japanese info files. How to install Japanese info files are: after ./configure, run 'make jinfo' and 'make install-jinfo'.

Should be fixed now if you have LINGUAS=ja set.
I've fixed it in 5.2: Japanese Info files are now installed if "ja" is in LINGUAS. Thank you for reporting.
