Greetings, While I cannot speak for the original poster, I have a related problem; When I run a web based MAN query, MAN vomits the following to my web log: ctype locale: Invalid argument I've spent hours searching the mail archives, read the MAN pages, and searched Google/ Yahoo!. Yet no joy. I found a short bit in the mail archives. But the suggestions didn't seem to help. I don't recieve this error at the console while typing MAN <question>, but that does not mean that MAN is not unhappy. Any and all suggestions /greatly/ appreciated. Thank you for all your time and consideration. --Chris > > -- > Florent Thoumie > flz@FreeBSD.org > FreeBSD Committer > > ---------------------------------------------------------------- H.R.
