I have Gnu Common Lisp installed and working except that...
(1) Every time I do a command such as (HELP 'functionname) I get the
message
(not found "dir")(not found "gcl.info")
and then I get the expected documentation. Do I have some directory name
set wrong?
(2) How do I view the manual? I presume it is in texinfo format and
can be viewed in Emacs. How?

the Makefile defines a symbol "INFO_DIR" (by default /usr/info)
the gcl info files are in it
check that the "gcl.info" one is not an improper one (dangling symlink ?)

ensure that the `Info-default-directory-list' variable contains the name of
the directory which contain the gcl info files.
edit the "dir" file in this directory an add it a "gcl" entry, copying the
style of existing entries.
then, under Emacs, use "C-h i" and choose the "gcl" node
