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
Ok, after changing my MANPATH, i can use $ man port , but not man for specific ports. For example, $ man transfig or $ man xfig do not work.
I don't have those ports installed. Are you certain they have man pages in /opt/local/share/man?
What are the other directories that i should add to MANPATH?
Here are my variables:
MANPATH=/opt/local/share/man:/usr/local/teTeX/man:/usr/local/share/ man:/usr/share/man PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/ usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current:/usr/local/bin INFOPATH=/usr/local/teTeX/info:/usr/local/share/info:/usr/local/lib/ info:/usr/local/info:/usr/share/info
Thanks.
Alexey.
I would really suggest reading the section "SEARCH PATH FOR MANUAL PAGES" in man(1) and the corrosponding config file /usr/share/misc/ man.conf. Then set up a MANPATH_MAP for "/usr/local/teTeX/bin/ powerpc-apple-darwin-current". Finally, clear your MANPATH environment variable altogether. -- Matt Meissner meissnem at gmail.com
