OpenBSD 4.0
Hi:
I installed Tcl and Tk on my OpenBSD computer. They are located in
/usr/local/lib/{tcl8.4,tk8.4}/man. The man pages would
not come up so I added them to /etc/man.conf like so:
# The whatis/apropos database.
_whatdb /usr/share/man/whatis.db
_whatdb /usr/local/man/whatis.db
_whatdb /usr/X11R6/man/whatis.db
_whatdb /usr/local/lib/tcl8.4/man/whatis.db
_whatdb /usr/local/lib/tk8.4/man/whatis.db
<SNIP - irrelevant sections not shown>
# default
_default /usr/{share,X11R6,X11,contrib,gnu,local}/{man,man/old}/
_default /usr/local/lib/{tcl8.4,tk8.4}/man/
These additions got them to work. My question; why could I not add
them at the bottom of this section?
# Other sections that represent complete man subdirectories.
X11 /usr/X11/man/
X11R6 /usr/X11R6/man/
contrib /usr/contrib/man/
local /usr/local/man/
new /usr/contrib/man/
old /usr/share/man/old/
I mean what do these "other sections" do? Anyone know of a good howto
on modifying /etc/man.conf ?.
Also, before making the modifications I tried using:
$man -M/usr/local/lib/tcl8.4/man/ tclsh
but it would not display the man page. What was I doing wrong here?

Kind regards,
Jonathan
