Did you happen to set this yourself (i.e., explicitly)? If not, would you be able to post the output of the "pkg_info" command, just so those that have a much better understanding of the environment than me might be able to narrow down which installation (if any) might be harrassed for the dramas you're undergoing? > > You can see the ultimate result by running the 'manpath' command. > > 2006-07-13 08:38:20 dpchrist@k62350 ~ > $ manpath > (Warning: MANPATH environment variable set) Just thought I should draw attention to the warning above... > :/home/dpchrist/local/man > > > > See the manpath(1) man page for more information. > > 2006-07-13 08:38:58 dpchrist@k62350 ~ > $ man manpath > No manual entry for manpath Hahaha...
