Hi, I have FreeBSD 5.1 with Gnome installed from the packages, and yelp shows all manual pages. A freshly installed 5.2 also works if Gnome was installed from the packages, but after a portupgrade or if installed Gnome from the ports, the man pages are not shown (not only not shown, but not even in the table of contents). I looked all over, and the only things I found was a mail in the archive, advising to add the MANPATH to the environment. As this is not the case on the 5.1 system - where yelp works as deired - I doubt that this is the reason for my problem. How are they found when I'm issuing the man command if the MANPATH was not set somehow? I wonder what I am missing. On the 5.1 box, I fond some yelp-related files in /usr/X11R6/libexec (yelp-db2html, yelp-info2html and yelp-man2html) that are not on the 5.2 box. If the port did not install them, how do I get them? What's in the packe the port does not have? I'm a little helpless and would appreciate some hints. Carsten
