Man pages missing

After installing an HPUX 11.0 machine I am missing my man pages. I assume they are on the core cd but where?

Somebody else will have better information as far as reinstalling them. I just wanted to make sure you checked your /usr/share/man folder for the files. It could just be that you don't have your MANPATH set correctly in your profile.

testhost:/usr/share/man # ls
cat1.Z cat4.Z cat8.Z man1m.Z man3.Z man5.Z man7.Z
cat1m.Z cat5.Z man1 man2 man4 man6 man8
cat2.Z cat6.Z man1.Z man2.Z man4.Z man6.Z man8.Z
cat3.Z cat7.Z man1m man3 man5 man7


Not sure why when setting the MANPATH=/usr/share/man it doesn't work.

Hi Jeremy:

I presume that after you set your MANPATH that you exported the variable (?).

Re: Man pages missing

The man pages are on the Install / Core OS cd.

1) mount the cd, e.g. cdrom
2) swstall -s /cdrom

3) Hilight English HP-UX Runtime Environment
and open it
4) OS-Core -> Manuals
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.

Re: Man pages missing

Judging by your output, your man files are there so reinstalling isn't the issue. Do you see /usr/share/man when you do an:
echo $MANPATH

Hello!

You probably need to install the mans from
the OS disk.
