Doesn't work on OS X #29

Closed mdkess closed 9 years ago

mdkess commented 9 years ago

If you try to run this on OS X, you get the error:

$ cppman vector
zcat: can't stat: /Users/mdkess/.local/share/man/cplusplus.com/std::vector.3.gz (/Users/mdkess/.local/share/man/cplusplus.com/std::vector.3.gz.Z): No such file or directory

The reason for this is that zcat on OS X doesn't support reading zip files. See here: http://serverfault.com/q/570024

The fix for this is to update the various pager_*.sh scripts in lib/ to use zcat < instead of just zcat, but I'm not sure of the compatibility of this with Linux.

Thanks for importing, I'll find a mac to try it :P

Alternatively, you can use "gunzip -c" to ensure portability.

Should be fixed by the PR
