- I have installed hlu's bootable root 0.98pl1 version of linux, plus
- gcc 2.2.2d7, gnu groff package(including groff, geqn, gpic, gtbl, etc),
- xfree86-1.1... stuff. But when I install man package from both tsx
- and sunsite binaries distribution, (man1.1.bin.tar.Z), when I do
-
- % man man
-
- and I get:
-
- % warning: couldn't stat file /usr/man!
- % no manpage for man
-
- I checked that I do have man.1.Z in /usr/man/cat1 directory and I have
- all the gnu groff package: such as gpic, groff, geqn, ... and I have
- .bash_profile and .profile sitting in my root directory (I am running man
- at root). When I type manpath, it gives me : /usr/man which is all
- right. I have manpath.config sitting in /usr/lib, man and manpath
- in /usr/bin. BTW, the kernel is: linux0.98.1.
-
- I have tried man other stuff in /usr/man/cat1, every time the warning
- message appeared and last line :no manpage for man changed to corresponding
- name. And appropos and whatis both did not work.
-
- Help please! So I can fully use this 2-3 M manpage hard disk space.
