For some reason man isn't searching the paths in man.conf (even tried man -C). Something I've installed at some point must have changed this, still not sure where it is looking for MANPATHs. I was able to fix the issue by adding an export for MANPATH in my .profile. This will work better anyway as it will ensure nothing screws up the paths again. -Hezekiah On Apr 17, 2007, at 11:56 AM, David Liontooth wrote:

It appears I'm missing almost all my manual pages for my ports including the port man page itself. Anyone see this & know how to fix it. The paths are correct in man.conf but the manual pages seem to have disappeared. Only thing I've done recently was to upgrade to 1.40 & recently 1.42

Hi Hezekiah --

I just installed macports 1.4.2 and man pages are intact. I take it it's not a path problem?

$ echo $PATH /opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/ local/bin

Did you check the contents of an installed package such as autoconf?

$ port contents autoconf | grep man /opt/local/share/man/man1/autoconf.1.gz /opt/local/share/man/man1/autoheader.1.gz /opt/local/share/man/man1/autom4te.1.gz /opt/local/share/man/man1/autoreconf.1.gz /opt/local/share/man/man1/autoscan.1.gz /opt/local/share/man/man1/autoupdate.1.gz /opt/local/share/man/man1/config.guess.1.gz /opt/local/share/man/man1/config.sub.1.gz /opt/local/share/man/man1/ifnames.1.gz
