Oookay. So. Finally managed to make vimmanpager work by doing: echo "MANPAGER=/usr/bin/vimmanpager" > /etc/env.d/99manpager To make sure, I deleted rkitover's vimpager from /usr/local/bin, and do man man Now, before I lose my mind, can someone tell me what's the difference between /etc/env.d and /etc/profile.d ??
