"No manual entry for..." #19

Closed tylerper closed 12 years ago

tylerper commented 12 years ago

Not a pressing issue, but a bit annoying.

Many of the man pages for common shell commands and programs aren't found.

tkp@ba3:~$ man ls
No manual entry for ls
tkp@ba3:~$ echo $MANPATH
/software/pkg/torque/torque-2.5.8/man:/usr/man
tkp@ba3:~$ ls /usr/man
ls: cannot access /usr/man: No such file or directory

(in a way it's rather poetic -- man can't find ls, and ls can't find man).

i'll fix this up. they are there, in /usr/share/man, but your $MANPATH is unset by default (and works). once the modules command sets it, then it seems to break and not look anywhere else for man pages.

fixed at next login to ba3.
