Hi all, I used pkg_add to add jdk and after installation, it told me to
add /usr/local/jdk-1.7.0/man to man.conf. Therefore, I googled on modifying
man.conf and came across the OpenBSD man page
online:http://man.openbsd.org/OpenBSD-current/man5/man.conf.5
I cut-and-pasted the EXAMPLES section into /etc/man.conf exactly as stated from
the webpage and then added an extra line for the jdk manpath:manpath
/usr/share/man
manpath /usr/X11R6/man
manpath /usr/local/man
manpath /usr/local/jdk-1.7.0/man
And after this, "man java" worked fine, but "man man", "man printf", "man
man.conf" etc. stopped working! After a bit of debugging, I found that the
problem was that the manpath lines for the first two lines had trailing spaces
at the end (I had cut/pasted them from the webpage above, but it appears the
page has the trailing spaces in it as well). So I figured I should fix man so
that it properly handles trailing spaces in man.conf. Here's my patch to fix
this:
