Hi I just installed macports on a PPC iMac running Leopard 10.5.0 and ran into the following problem when doing 'man port' in the terminal: Cannot open the message catalog "man" for locale "UTF-8" (NLSPATH="<none>") No manual entry for port On the other hand, if do 'man port' in xterm, it works fine. Why is this happening? I thought it might have something to do with encodings, so I disabled all encodings in the new terminal preferences, but still man port does not work. Thanks in advance --- Luis

I see the same problem. I'm also on 10.5. Mark
in the meantime you can go to Terminal.app/Preferences/Setting/Advanced and uncheck "Set LANG environement variable on startup" -will On 9-nov-07, at 01:50, markd@macports.org wrote:

You can add /opt/local/man to /etc/manpaths and run: sudo /usr/libexec/makewhatis Regards, Eric On Nov 9, 2007, at 4:05 AM, Will Arp wrote:

My own experience is that "man port" works fine if no $MANPATH is set in env. If some other program has made $MANPATH entries then you need to add export $MANPATH:/opt/local/man to your ~/.profile William Davis frstanATbellsouthDOTnet Mac OS X.5.0 Darwin 9.0.0 Mac Mini Intel Duo @ 1.86 GHz Mundus vult decepi, ego non
Actually I had to quit from terminal application first and then rerun it and the problem was fixed so strike out the last one. The problem was solved by the man path addition. Thanks and regards, Lefteris Lefteris Tsintjelis wrote:

I personally prefer the general settings as it works well for any user logged in as well as the general scripts running of the OS, if any. Regards, Lefteris
