Whenever I use man I get the following result.
man perl man: can't resolve /usr/share/man/man1/perl.1.gz: Permission denied No manual entry for perl
man ls man: can't resolve /usr/share/man/man1/ls.1.gz: Permission denied No manual entry for ls
What can I do to resolve this problem.
You probably need to install the "allmanpages" package. Not to worry though, perl has it's own documentation called "perldoc". Type perldoc perl and you will get the page. perldoc -f 'function' will get you info on a function perldoc File::Find will get you info on the module File::Find perldoc -q array will find all entries concerning array in the perlfaq docs.

Check that the files are actually there? Though it is more likely that the Permission denied means that they are owned by root, and not read accessable to other users, so check the permissions. -- Lester Caine ----------------------------- L.S.Caine Electronic Services
I had this the other day. Something, and I know not what, suddenly set the permissions of the directory man1 so as not to allow user access. Duff rpm of some kind? I can't remember what I was doing, but then often I can't remember who I am. As I remember, none of the actual file perms changed, but man1 got changed to 700 or 744 or something odd. The perms and ownerships on my (fully working system are: fergus@pc11:~/3.0.2> ls -ld /usr/share/man/man1 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 28855 Jun 27 18:14 /usr/share/man/man1 fergus@pc11:~/3.0.2> ls -ld /usr/share/man/ drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 410 Mar 13 10:32 /usr/share/man/ So try setting those, you'd achieve that by being root and doing chmod 755 /usr/share/man/man1 if the perms are wrong or chown root:root /usr/share/man/man1 if the ownerships are wrong, for example. Forgive me if you knew that. HTH Fergus On Thursday 11 July 2002 14:09, you wrote:
