I downloaded and installed 1.7.11 from http://git-scm.com/download/win last
week. (actually I've done it twice).
I'm having several problems that seems like my install is missing something.
1) missing man executable. When I type git help add for instance, I get:
$ git help add
warning: failed to exec 'man': No such file or directory
fatal: no man viewer handled the request
when I look in the bin directory, no man command.
2) to work around this, I did git config --global help.format web and set
my help.browser too, but I get the same
error as above when I do git help, Here is my config output:
$ git config help.format
web
However, if I do git help -w add, the help page comes up in my browser
as expected.
How come my default setting is not working?
3) (worst problem) - I cannot get pull to work from my repository on github
(I am able to push). When I do
"git pull", I get a popup window:
git.exe- System Error.
The program can't start because libiconv-2.dll is missing from your
computer.
Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
but when I go to Git's bin directory the dll is there:
$ ls -l libi*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 jak Administ 1241889 Sep 2 17:02 libiconv-2.dll
-rwxr-xr-x 1 jak Administ 978432 Sep 2 17:02 libiconv2.dll
Pretty frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated
