If you have man 1.6g via macports you might want to use `sudo makewhatis -w`, but it doesn't seem to work. -w Use manpath obtained from `man --path` $ sudo makewhatis -w tr: Illegal byte sequence On the other hand $ sudo /usr/libexec/makewhatis -v `man --path | tr : ' '` works but duplicates some entries, as expected I suppose.
