Bug Description
Alan <email address hidden> in comp.emacs.xemacs (2010-01-25)
I upgraded to the latest VM version available via the XEmacs package
system. Function "vm-version" says that is version "8.0.12-
devo-585" (8.07 on the package list). This VM version via the XEmacs
package system has no Info files (or texinfo files) that come with it
(they are not on the manifest list).

Having just downloaded the VM package, I find the same issue.
This seems to be long-standing problem with the build routine. The configure script shows:
checking where .elc files should go... $(prefix) /lib/xemacs/ site-packages/ lisp/vm /vm-build. el
checking where pixmaps should go... $(prefix)/lib/vm
checking which options to pass on to (X)Emacs... -batch -no-autoloads -l $(srcdir)
checking where the TeXinfo docs should go... ${datarootdir}/info
The pixmaps are not going to site-packages/etc and the info is not going to site-packages/info.
I don't know if this ever worked!
