Good news for those whom had been following this thread and my annoying
whines. I finally managed to get "man" to work after Monsieur Walker's
magic touch "unsetenv". Nevertheless a few explications are of great
desire.
Lee: It appears that your environment is hosed.
What does hosing en environment entails?
Try the following (assuming that you are still using tcsh):
unsetenv MANPATH
Works like a charm.
This will let 'manpath' work its magic. Do not mess with MANPATH; it
just gets in the way.
I did not mean to mess around with MANPATH (*looking like an innocent
kid after stealing a cookie from the cookie jar*). In fact I found it
in the .tcshrc file heeding your advice, I nuked it. I remember typing
that line blindly when I installed Qt for Macs. I remember that they
required that line in my .tcshrc file when I installed their libraries
under Jaguar. Since I did an "archive + install" upgrade to Panther,
the line persisted in my .tcshrc file...
So, WHY did they (the Qt guys) wanted me to set MANPATH?
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) :-}.
Until I have more time to read about PATH setting and to have fink to
re work again on my PB, I shall refrain from any Unix acrobatics.
Hope that helps.
It did. Thank you very much.
