I've just built a new LFS using the Cross-LFS method. Most things
seem to be very stable, but I've got two inexplicable problems. I'll
start seperate threads on them though.
Man reads /etc/man.conf, but ignores it.
'man man', for instance, results in 'No manual entry for man', but
'man -M /usr/share/man man' works fine. I've checked /etc/man.conf
(perms 644) is correct - it's untouched from install. I've rebuilt
man-1.5p using straight LFS instructions. If i remove /etc/man.conf,
then man complains that it isn't there - so I know it's reading it.
I even rebuilt glibc and then man again, in case the Cross-LFS method
was borked in some way. I don't use compiler optimisation.
Short of putting debug in the source, which I'm not competant to do,
what else can I try?
R.
Do you happen to have a MANPATH enviornment variable set for any
reason? IIRC, setting MANPATH in the enviornment will override the
default man search paths.
Just a thought, based on a problem I ran into quite a while back.
