Honestly, I am really unfamiliar with how man pages work behind the scenes. We installed two separate grids and the problem is showing up on both (RHEL5 with latest YUM updates), these are the links in my man1 directory. Notice there are no .gz extensions on the destination which seems wrong to me. Is that really a problem? In the older, 6.2u4, there are no .gz's and there doesn't appear to be any symbolic links in the man1 directory, so something has changed here.

No I'm lost: the main complaint now is that there are missing links in the $SGE_ROOT/man tree? -- Reuti > -----Original Message----- > From: Reuti [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Thursday, July 26, 2012 3:43 AM > To: Maes, Richard > Cc: William Hay; [email protected] > Subject: Re: [gridengine users] 8.1.0 appears to have old manpages. > > Am 26.07.2012 um 02:14 schrieb Maes, Richard: > >> Sorry about rebirthing an old thread, but it's too late to change the >> channel now... >> >> I finally got around to looking at this man page issue again.
