Hp-UX man problem

[guaggia]

hi all,

when I run the man command I obtain the following error message :

man make_depots
Reformatting entry. Wait...
/tmp/mana00911: line 1: Can't open file
tbl quits

thanks in advance

Are you running out of space in /tmp perhaps?

[guaggia]

thanks for your answer, but this is the situation of the /tmp file system.

# bdf /tmp
Filesystem kbytes used avail %used Mounted on
/dev/vg00/lvol4 204800 7528 195792 4% /tmp

I use the root user and I obtain the same error message.

What's the permission of /tmp?

ls -ld /tmp
drwxrwxrwx 17 bin bin 6144 Jun 23 04:34 /tmp

Hi,
Sorry Simple quest..
do you get the same error for all the man commands.
I mean

man vgimport
man vgexport etc..,

Regards,

[guaggia]

I have checked the permission of the /tmp directory and it is corrects.

[Geoff Wild]

Maybe recreate them?

Have a look at the catman command.
