[SLE] How to use "man" command?
Hi all, I'm using SUSE10 64bit. I can't use "man" command since I finished the full installation. please see below for example: ==== liu@linux:~> man ls No manual entry for ls liu@linux:~> man echo No manual entry for echo === I think it should be related to a man path varible, but I don't know what and how to fix. Any suggestions are appreciated! Regards!

Those work fine on my 64b 10.1 system. Did you install the man pages?
Yes, I selected everything and then removed those conficted packages as suggestion by the installation program. I didn't see any man pages conflicting message, so I believe the man pages have been installed into my computer. On Wed, 28 Jun 2006 21:43:27 -0300, James Knott <james.knott@rogers.com> wrote:

Take a look in Yast software management. There's a check box for man pages.

Hi JunJun, what's the output of the following command:
echo $MANPATH
when run both as the user you work with and as root? Also, do you use different shells (bash, csh, zsh) for the user and for root?

Hi Mello and all others who helped me, Thanks a lot! I forgot to check $MANPATH. Acctually, it's my fault. I wrote a wrong statement in my .bashrc overriding the original settings == export MANPATH=$PGI/man == I've corrected this, and man page comes back! Thanks to everyone who helped me! Regards!

Actually, when I su to root, I can use the "man" command. ====== linux:~ # man ls Reformatting ls(1), please wait... ====== On Wed, 28 Jun 2006 21:43:27 -0300, James Knott <james.knott@rogers.com> wrote:
