To repair this I always set MANPATH environment variable until I see /etc/manpath.conf. After a short look I saw that only binaries are mapped, so neither ports library functions nor X (or X-related) library function calls could be looked up via man. This two appended lines fix this :-) >How-To-Repeat: man dcgettext man -k gettext >Fix: apply this patch --- manpath.patch begins here --- --- manpath.config.orig Sun May 26 10:52:14 2002 +++ manpath.config Sun May 26 10:54:19 2002 @@ -17,6 +17,8 @@ # check if the directory exists and if it does, add it to MANPATH # OPTIONAL_MANPATH /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/man +OPTIONAL_MANPATH /usr/local/man +OPTIONAL_MANPATH /usr/X11R6/man # # set up PATH to MANPATH mapping # --- manpath.patch ends here --- >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
