How to get man working ?
Hello
I don't know how my man command is not working any more. Probably after one of the updates from Sun update connection.
The man executable is running fine, but it can't find any man pages.
I tried
man man
man ifconfig
and it says there is no man page for man or for ifconfig, although my MANPATH looks as usual: /usr/dt/man:/usr/man:.....
Please, do you know what could be wrong with it ?
Thank you,
Timothy Madden,

Looking into /usr/man, which is a link to /usr/share/man, I see there are only a few of the man pages there., for sman1, man1 and sman1m. Where should the man page for ifconfig be normaly found ?
Now I remember I edited /etc/profile and marked MANPATH for export, the same as PATH was marked already. And also I added the path to the Sun Studio man pages to the MANPATH, in the same /etc/profile, as the Sun Studio installer does not do it for me.
Could this be the cause ? How am I supposed to add a directory to MANPATH if so ?
Thank you,
