F8 "man man" does not find anything. "man -M /usr/share/man man" finds the man file for man just fine. Directory permissions look fine. Config files are identical with another F8 machine. ===8<--- [root@thing ~]# man -d man Reading config file /etc/man.config found man directory /usr/share/man found man directory /usr/local/man found man directory /usr/local/share/man found man directory /usr/X11R6/man found manpath map /bin --> /usr/share/man found manpath map /sbin --> /usr/share/man found manpath map /usr/bin --> /usr/share/man found manpath map /usr/sbin --> /usr/share/man found manpath map /usr/local/bin --> /usr/local/share/man found manpath map /usr/local/sbin --> /usr/local/share/man found manpath map /usr/X11R6/bin --> /usr/X11R6/man found manpath map /usr/bin/X11 --> /usr/X11R6/man found manpath map /usr/bin/mh --> /usr/share/man using /usr/bin/less -is as pager using /usr/bin/less -is as browser using /bin/cat to dump HTML pages as text adding /usr/lib/alliance/man to manpath

No manual entry for man
After considerable digging I found a series of errors with the alliance-libs installation. ===8<--- From the end of alc_env.sh # System environment variables.

MBK_SPI_MODEL=$ALLIANCE_TOP/etc/spimodel.cfg; export MBK_SPI_MODEL ===8<--- Below works AND even gives the alliance man entries. # System environment variables.

MBK_SPI_MODEL=$ALLIANCE_TOP/etc/spimodel.cfg; export MBK_SPI_MODEL ===8<--- Note the extra colons. ALso note the definition of MANPATH which overrides the settings in /etc/man.config. If the alliance people are reading the list maybe they will get the message. I didn't see an address on their website for bugs. Maybe if somebody else gets curious about laying out VLSI tools and installs Alliance they might find this and learn why man died. {^_^} -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
