man command error

[Ben Li]

When I use man command, the system show me the following message:
$man sysdef
Reformatting entry. Wait... done
sh: less: not found

I'm using ksh. Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem?

Thanks

Hi,

This is probably the environment variable PAGER that is set to less instead of more, or less is not in your PATH.

Try 'export PAGER=more' or find the exact location of less and execute 'export PAGER=/full/path/to/less'

Bye,
Rik.

It looks like the "less" command was substituted for more on your system. Is the less command still installed on your system? Is it in your search path (which less)?
