Since I have LC_CTYPE=de_DE.ISO8859-15, I would have to execute, for example: echo /usr/bin/catman -L | LC_ALL=en.ISO8859-1 nice -5 su -m man But the problem is not that I have not catpages (I know how to build them), the problem is, that a feature of the make world cycle MANBUILDCAT=YES does not work as advertised. > Or you could put this in /etc/periodic.conf to have any new man pages > preformatted once per week: > weekly_catman_enable="YES" You have to change /etc/manpath.conf (enable MANLOCALES) and afterwards you'll notice that weekly_catman_enable is broken, see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=35558 Nicolas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
