man problem?

leereg_5 — Tue, 04 Sep 2001 06:46:22 GMT

I met following problem and everyone beside me can use man normally, why?

$ man vi
Reformatting page. Please Wait.../opt/local/bin/tbl[7]: /opt/dwb/bin/tbl: notd
/opt/local/bin/eqn[7]: /opt/dwb/bin/eqn: not found
/opt/local/bin/nroff[7]: /opt/dwb/bin/nroff: not found
/opt/local/bin/col[7]: /opt/dwb/bin/col: not found
sys( cat /tmp/sman_16766 | tbl | eqn | nroff -u0 -Tlp -man - | col -x > /tmp/m!
aborted (sorry)

Thanks in advance!

Hi

Looks like /opt/dwb/bin is not in your search path. Are the /opt/local/bin files wrapper scripts?

Rgds, Robin.

It appears that your PATH variable is toast. Could you provide us the value of PATH:

echo $PATH

and could you list these files:

/opt/local/bin/tbl
/opt/dwb/bin/tbl
/opt/local/bin/eqn
/opt/dwb/bin/eqn
/opt/local/bin/nroff
/opt/dwb/bin/nroff
/opt/local/bin/col
/opt/dwb/bin/col

thanks

Hi,

Do you have an alias for man? do "type man" or
"/usr/bin/man vi"
