"Your" command created an output of 14 directories.
Code:
# find / -type d -name man
/usr/share/webconsole/man
/usr/share/man
/usr/openwin/share/man
/usr/lib/gnome-private/share/man
/usr/lib/cc-ccr/man
/usr/postgres/8.2/man

Okay, thank you for the explaination. Nice to know the real reason.
@all
I'll keep you up-to-date regarding this topic.
Following are the steps which I'm going to try one after another:
1) Try adding the 14 direcotories (see my answer to jim_mcnamara above) to PATH
2) Afterwards I'd follow bartus' approach
3) If that also fails (no.2), I'd simply reinstall the whole system and choose "Developer" or higher.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE:
Now all is working fine. I just added the missing package like this:
Code:
# cd /cdrom/sol_10_811_sparc/Solaris_10/Product
# pkgadd -d . SUNWman
I decided to start immediately with the installation of the missing package because it was not listed in "pkginfo".
Thank you for your support

Hi,
How can I see the man pages for while, for, if and other shell script control structures.. I can't say just "man while" at least on hp unix...
Do I need to use any special option?
Thank you!

When reading man pages, I notice that sometimes commands are follwed by a number enclosed in parenthesis. such as:
mkdir calls the mkdir(2) system call.
What exactly does this mean? (4 Replies)

Hi,
Any chance we could have an input pane in the forums
that targets a man page and whose content is output to the bottom
of the man page in this way forming extended man pages with additional know how?
Thanks,

Hi everyone,
I have a small query, in solaris the man pages get displayed on half of the terminal , can i get a full terminal or full screen display ?:) (2 Replies)
Can anyone supply me with the man pages for:
omnidatalist
omnibarlist
omnisap.exe
I prefer the source man pages in nroff format.
A clue about the software bundles which supply these man pages is fine as well.

dh_installmanpages
DH_INSTALLMANPAGES(1) Debhelper DH_INSTALLMANPAGES(1)NAME
dh_installmanpages - old-style man page installer (deprecated)
SYNOPSIS
dh_installmanpages [debhelperoptions] [file...]
DESCRIPTION
dh_installmanpages is a debhelper program that is responsible for automatically installing man pages into usr/share/man/ in package build
directories.
This is a DWIM-style program, with an interface unlike the rest of debhelper. It is deprecated, and you are encouraged to use
dh_installman(1) instead.
dh_installmanpages scans the current directory and all subdirectories for filenames that look like man pages. (Note that only real files
are looked at; symlinks are ignored.) It uses file(1) to verify that the files are in the correct format. Then, based on the files'
extensions, it installs them into the correct man directory.
All filenames specified as parameters will be skipped by dh_installmanpages. This is useful if by default it installs some man pages that
you do not want to be installed.
After the man page installation step, dh_installmanpages will check to see if any of the man pages are .so links. If so, it changes them to
symlinks.
OPTIONS
file ...
Do not install these files as man pages, even if they look like valid man pages.
BUGS
dh_installmanpages will install the man pages it finds into all packages you tell it to act on, since it can't tell what package the man
pages belong in. This is almost never what you really want (use -p to work around this, or use the much better dh_installman(1) program
instead).
Files ending in .man will be ignored.
Files specified as parameters that contain spaces in their filenames will not be processed properly.

This program is a part of debhelper.
