Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I can't get man to work properly for normal users. It work fine for root but gives an error whenever a mortal user uses it. --------------------------------------------------- starscream:/usr/home/olson> man man Error executing formatting or display command. system command exited with status 32512 No manual entry for man --------------------------------------------------- man -d man yeilds --------------------------------------------------- searching in /usr/share/man trying section 1 with globbing globbing /usr/share/man/man1/man.1* found ultimate source file /usr/share/man/man1/man.1.gz to_name in convert_name () is: /usr/share/man/cat1/man.1.gz will try to write /usr/share/man/cat1/man.1.gz if needed status from is_newer() = 172096 trying command: /usr/bin/zcat /usr/share/man/cat1/man.1.gz | more -cs --------------------------------------------------- I can execute `/usr/bin/zcat /usr/share/man/cat1/man.1.gz | more -cs` just fine from either tcsh or sh (Just to be sure.)
