#13444: In Leopard man page for 'port' is missing or not accessable ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: dergaspode@gmx.info | Owner: jmpp@macports.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts base bugs Component: base | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: man ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Changes (by jberry@macports.org): * owner: macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org => jmpp@macports.org * version: 1.5.2 => 1.6.0 Comment: This bug is due to the fact that in Leopard, MANPATH is now set explicitly by default (read path_helper(8)). In such a case, the extremely useful mapping of PATH to MANPATH (as had been done in prior versions of Mac OS X) is not performed, which means that the man pages at /opt/local/share/man are not found automatically. This problem has already been fixed in trunk. I'm not sure if the changes have yet been migrated to the 1.6 branch. Trunk installs two files, /etc/paths.d/macports and /etc/manpaths.d/macports, which contain lists of paths that should be incorporated into the PATH and MANPATH environment variables. As a workaround, install these files yourself, or set your MANPATH variable to include /opt/local/share/man. Assigning this bug to jmpp to ensure he migrates the fixes to 1.6 branch. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/13444#comment:2> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
