[SLE] Re: [newbie] Silly question - I don't know how to use man
Hello Thanks all for the suggestions regarding getting man to work. Here is what I tried: a) Re-installation of man softaware - It didn't work. b) Copy of somebody else's man.config to /etc/man.config. - It didn work. c) Use man as man -M /usr/man - it worked. The funniest thing about it is I don't know why man won't work. root@armagedon:/etc$ man -d Reading config file /etc/man.config found man directory /usr/man found man directory /usr/local/man found man directory /usr/X11R6/man found man directory /usr/lib/perl5/man found manpath map /bin --> /usr/man found manpath map /sbin --> /usr/man found manpath map /usr/bin --> /usr/man found manpath map /usr/sbin --> /usr/man found manpath map /usr/local/bin --> /usr/local/man found manpath map /usr/X11R6/bin --> /usr/X11R6/man found manpath map /usr/bin/X11 --> /usr/X11R6/man found manpath map /usr/bin/mh --> /usr/man it sounds good, doesn't it? Unfortunately it doesn't, root@armagedon:/etc$ man -w /usr/local/qt/man Man is stuck with qt somehow. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot.

Unfortunately it doesn't,

For a start, try not to run anything as Root! :) To find out what man documents are actually in your path statements, type whereis man My result is: igor@linux:~ > whereis man man: /usr/bin/man /usr/games/man /usr/local/man /usr/share/man Use mc or some other file manager to track down what is in these directories. If you find another man page that you want to use, just add its' address to your Path statement HTH This Email is 100% Virus Free! How do I know?
