funny, i thought tcsh didn't set MANPATH. maybe you
are in bash after all? of course, what do i know?
Lee: It appears that your environment is hosed.
Try the following (assuming that you are still using tcsh):
unsetenv MANPATH
This will let 'manpath' work its magic. Do not mess with MANPATH; it
just gets in the way.
Once you've done that, try the 'man' command again. It should work
(assuming you have the man pages installed in their expected locations).
Then track down the startup files for your shell (again, tcsh). These
include
.login
.tcshrc
.cshrc
.history
(the above in your home directory)
/etc/csh.cshrc
/etc/csh.login
Nuke any settings of MANPATH in these files. This environment variable
is no longer needed. 'manpath' (the command) takes its place.
Finally, you should (on 10.3) be able to please yourself with 'chsh' to
change your default shell to 'bash' (or any other program that's
hanging around) :-}.
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Justin
