RE: man problems - how to get a pre 1.5g-2 binary?


Please reply to the list.

Anyway, the only fishy thing I saw was:

> adding /cygdrive/c/data/MyDocRalf/bin/cgywin/usr/man to 
> manpath adding /cygdrive/c/data/MyDocRalf/McKBrC/man to manpath

Is this a cut-and-paste error from your screen? 

In any case, it looks like "man" normally uses a built-in MANPATH
determination algorithm, but if you specify a MANPATH, it skips that and
uses your MANPATH exclusively.  So the only thing I can say is: examine
your MANPATH *carefully* (like no missing separators, etc), and make
sure that your MANPATH contains /usr/man as well.
