hi all,

Newbie to Unix and AIX. So my apologies if this is in the wrong place, etc.

Working on box -

uname# uname -a
AIX appt 3 5 00C08AAF4C00

when i type man (some valid command)
it just returns me to the # prompt.

Its running on the KSH shell.

man was working but i was trying to install monitor-9.1.2 so i could get system stats. I have put the tar.gz file in a directory of its own, un tz, and un tar'd it. Changed the makefile cause the 3 locations requiried where all looking at locations usr/local/man /ucd and /bin. so changed these to /usr/man /ucd and /bin.

tried to make the file but getting error

=====================================================
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.
make: 1254-005 Ignored error code 1 from last command.
make all
cc -Dmon_notdef -DCOMPPROG=\"/usr/bin/gzip\" -DHIGHLIGHT=A_STANDOUT -
DMON_VERSION=\"2.1.9\" -DMON_DATE=\"26feb2001\" -o get_odm get_odm.c -s -lodm -D
MAIN
/usr/bin/sh: not found

make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.


Stop.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 2.


Stop.
========================================================
since then man hasnt worked also some current cron jobs i.e. errclear are now not function saying cannot exec shell.

Im quite worried that i've managed to kill something here. Any advice welcomed.

Again this is kinda several problems but i think they're all linked.

Thanks in advance for the help.
