Norm, I'd look for /etc/man.config on a Red Hat system if there is no /etc/man.conf. If it exists, adding a line like this should do it: MANPATH /usr/local/nmh/share/man or if you put other packages in /usr/local/ and want to handle all of them with one entry: MANPATH /usr/local/*/share/man David _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
