Hi folks,
I've installed RH Linux 7.2 on my HP Pavilion 4563Z desktop. Also have Win 98 on my PC. I'm unable to view man pages in Linux. The error I get is "groff: couldn't exec troff I/O error" Please hlp.
Thanks.

Solution
is the 'groff' package installed?
Check with the command:
rpm -q groff
the 'groff' package should also provide 'troff' (but you can check this by issuing:
rpm -ql groff | grep troff
).
If it is, then you'll need to check that the man pages are installed correctly into the correct path (/usr/man/ and /usr/share/man/), and are readable by the user spitting the error out.
If all of this is correct, then verify that the 'groff' package hasn't been corrupted by issuing:
rpm -V groff
If you see no output, everything is happy.
Hope this helps you a bit.

Re: display man pages
Thanks guys. Stuart you are genius! The -V option told me that there were some files missing, hence I reinstalled groff amd man packages. It works fine now. Thanks again guys!
