Hello,
i have a small problem.
I have just installed MascPorts, and tried
$ man port
but received
No manual entry for portgroup
Maybe your $MANPATH doesn't include /opt/local/share/man/, if you add
export MANPATH=/opt/local/share/man:/opt/local/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/local/share/man
to your .profile all should work correctly.
I thinks the tiger version of man have hardcoded other paths, since
MANPATH doesn't have to include system man page folders.
My MANPATH is empty but I still seem to be able to read manpages for ports. I'm on Tiger.
look up man(1) for the details, but on Tiger the man command looks at each item in your PATH, changes any "/bin" into "/man", and searches there for manpages.
To bring this back to MacPorts, if I remember correctly, this is the only reason why ${prefix}/man -> ${prefix}/share/man is still around. It was decided ages ago that the canonical location for man pages is ${prefix}/share/man
