I copied man pages in /usr/man/man1, $MANPATH is exported and has an entry /usr/man/man1. There is a file /usr/man/man1/bp.1, readable for everyone including all path components.
Starting 'konqueror man:bp' does not show the man page of bp. Instead I get "Keine passende Handbuchseite für bp gefunden." meaning "Man page not found."
Why? What do I have to do to get the man page of bp inside konqueror?
(Just typing 'man bp' works

Re: konqueror does not show man page
I did not start KDE. I logged into Linux from a remote host. I had set/exported MANPATH in my .profile before. I am starting 'konqueror man:bp', so I should expect the man page of bp inside konqueror.....
An other idea?

Re: konqueror does not show man page
Does the man command work with bp page?
MANPATH should point to /usr/man not /usr/man/man1

Re: konqueror does not show man page
yes: 'man bp' works, MANPATH points to /usr/man.

Re: konqueror does not show man page
I only mention this because it has happened to me more than once; running KDE on a local machine logged into a remote machine also running KDE. Sometimes I get momentarily confused about which box the output is coming from :o)

Re: konqueror does not show man page
My "konquror man:who" worked fine and so did plain old "man who". I set my MANPATH to just a "." and although "man who" stopped working, "konqueror man:who" continued to work.

Re: konqueror does not show man page
thank you for you tests. What do you suggest?
(I seems not to be acceptable if konqueror does not care about the content of MANPATH.)

SolutionIf I telnet to another machine and then telnet back to my machine then the MANPATH does seem to have some effect.
I would have to ask how you are logging onto KDE. Are you using a KDM login dialog or just telnetting to the machine and setting your environment.

Re: konqueror does not show man page
great!!! It works.
You gave the hint. I tried to get access on the man page of bp while another, old konqueror process was running, started at a time while /usr/man was not yet added on MANPATH. So, following konqueror processes were just childs of the first konqueror process.
The solution is: Exiting all running konqueror processes. Logging out, logging in (having all the needed entries in MANPATH) and starting again 'konqueror man:bp'.
Thank you!!
