Okay, actually, when I try that on my 10.5 machine, arch does
allow me
to specify the architecture under which to run another command.
Interesting. However, the man page on Leopard still doesn't mention
anything about this capability, although if you give it just the
"right"
invalid syntax (or "arch -h"), the usage will give you limited
information on this feature. Is this documented anywhere?
It is in the arch man page. Seems likely that you did an upgrade
install
and still have the 10.4 manpage around. The leopard manpages are
compressed so the files do not overwrite the older ones at install
time.
So, what you're telling me is that, in addition to of all the
various architecture/OS/Xcode version combinations I have to worry
about (PPC Tiger Intel Tiger, Intel Leopard with Xcode 2.5 and 3.0),
there's now a difference between my Leopard machine which was
upgraded from Tiger and a brand-new machine with Leopard installed?
How am I possibly supposed to know this? And what other "surprise"
differences don't I know about? How can I get my machine into a
"full" Leopard state, short of wiping the hard drive and installing
the OS again?
Or at least, what do I have to do to see the man pages for the
utilities I'm actually running?

Actually, doing "man arch" on Leopard give me this. Are you sure
you man path does not contains some old man page.
In fact, I'm not sure that man search in the Developer directory by
default. I think I have changed it the first time it returns me "no
man" (by adding an xcode entry /etc/manpaths.d/).
Exactly what entry do I need to add, and where?
Thanks,

If you have install "UNIX Development Support" with Xcode (that is all
optional stuff copied in /usr) you don't have to change anything as
man page are already in /usr/share/man, but if you don't have, you can
add a file with any name in "/etc/manpaths.d/" with one single line:
/Developer/usr/share/man
(i assume Xcode 3 is install in /Developer, but if this is not the
case, adjust this line)
About the problem with old man pages. Xcode does not really like
updates. The only reliable way to update it is to uninstall the
current version, and install then new one, else there is always some
minor issus like this one. So I don't know how to get a "full" Leopard
state.
