The default .login file at /usr/share/skel/dot.login defines MANPATH = "correctly" like this: setenv MANPATH "/usr/share/man:/usr/X11R6/man:/usr/local/man" If you login to your system via xdm, I believe ~/.login is not = executed. There are ways to fix that, but I don't know how right now. = The easiest thing to do would be to move the above line into ~/.cshrc. Lacking MANPATH, I believe man will execute manpath(1) to figure out = where things are. You can edit /etc/manpath.config to fix things. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
