Well, looking at man(1) and then at /private/etc/man.conf, I think it should be in /usr/local/share/man/man1, so that the relationship described in the lines MANPATH_MAP /usr/local/bin /usr/local/share/man MANPATH_MAP /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/share/man is honored. Alternatively, see path_helper(8), add the appropriate file to /etc/manpaths.d, as in # echo /usr/local/man >/etc/manpaths.d/usr_local or even # echo /usr/local/man:/usr/local/share/man >/etc/manpaths.d/usr_local (to cover both possibilities, since different software may well use one or the other) , and log out and back in again. (both /etc/profile (bash, sh, ksh) and /etc/csh.login (csh, maybe tcsh) call path_helper) But I agree insofar as ideally one shouldn't have to tweak anything. I _think_ that putting it in /usr/local/share/man/man1/ would eliminate the need to do so, but I've tweaked so darn much on my system that I wouldn't swear to what might happen on a more vanilla system. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Growl Discuss" group.
