bolt:~/>man -w wget /opt/wget/man/man1/wget.1 bolt:~/>echo $MANPATH bolt:~/>man -w /usr/local/man:/usr/man:/opt/nmh/man:/opt/mutt/man:/opt/elm/man:/opt/pine/man:/opt/w3m/man:/opt/links/man:/opt/rzsz/man:/opt/nn/man:/opt/mpack/man:/opt/wget/man:/opt/lynx/man:/opt/tf/man:/opt/figlet/man:/opt/j2sdk1.4.1/man:/usr/X11/man:/usr/X11R6/man:/usr/kerberos/man:/usr/lib/perl5/man bolt:~/>echo $SHELL /bin/bash There's nothing in my .bashrc or .bash_profile that manipulates the MANPATH. -Mark On Sun, 8 May 2005, Bill Kendrick wrote: > On Sun, May 08, 2005 at 05:20:00PM -0400, David Hummel wrote: > > > $ locate wget. | grep man > > > /usr/share/man/man1/wget.1.gz > > > > $ man -w wget > > /usr/share/man/man1/wget.1.gz > > Ah, but without having the path to the man page (in my case here on > sonic, /opt/extra/wget-X.XX/man/) in my $MANPATH environment variable, > "man" still doesn't know where the man page is, even if I give it "-w" ;^) > > % man -w wget > No manual entry for wget > > But, of course, if I put the correct path in $MANPATH, it works as above > (just with that weird "/opt/extra/..." path :^) ) > > > Thanks, though! > > -bill! > _______________________________________________ > vox-tech mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech > -- Mark K.
