Greetings, I decided to build a toolkit for myself that I'd be able to port around to various boxes. In doing so, I'd also like to port my man pages around as well. However, I noticed a problem here under 4.3-RELEASE. It follows... $ echo $MANPATH /path/to/alternate/man: $ man -d foo ctype locale env: Invalid argument using less as pager using i386 architecture found mandatory man directory /usr/share/man found mandatory man directory /usr/share/perl/man found optional man directory /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503/man found manpath map /usr/bin --> /usr/share/man found manpath map /usr/local/bin --> /usr/local/man found manpath map /usr/X11R6/bin --> /usr/X11R6/man search path for pages determined by manpath is /path/to/alternate/man Warning: couldn't stat file /path/to/alternate/man! Warning: couldn't stat file ! No manual entry for foo $ man -v man: illegal option -- v man, version 1.1 [snip] Basically anytime that I have MANPATH set to a variable, I don't even get system man pages. I couldn't find bug report info for `man'. Any help is appreciated. - #0 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
