You can read its manpage to see if it's really the software you want.
After you install ppmtomd, type
man ppmtomd
I have looked at the man pages by opening ppmtomd.man in the original source download. I haven't been able to run man on any software I have downloaded through macports. Do I still have something wrong with my macports install?
If typing "man ppmtomd" does not show you the ppmtomd manpage, and ppmtomd is installed, then yes, something is wrong.
What OS version are you on, and what is the value of your MANPATH environment variable?
I'm on Tiger, and my MANPATH is empty, and it works fine.
I'm on leopard.
My MANPATH is:
MANPATH=/usr/share/man:/usr/local/share/man:/usr/X11/man
I assume I need to add :/opt/local/share/man to it... should it have done this automaticly?
or should I delete everything from MANPATH as you say yours is empty....
Leopard does it differently, again, as usual. :( But one way to make it work is to put /opt/local/share/man into MANPATH, yes.
