Where should site-specific, ie local, man pages live? For instance, I have:=20 /usr/local/man/man1/php.1.gz /usr/local/share/man/man1/php.1.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 3597 May 6 00:38 = /usr/local/man/man1/php.1.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 3383 Dec 20 19:54 = /usr/local/share/man/man1/php.1.gz My understanding is that the older one is in the right place. The newer = one is registered as belonging to php5.4-14 while the old one is = orphaned.=20 I learn from lsof that the file that is actually opened and displayed is = this one: /usr/local/man/cat1/php.1.gz But that's in /usr/local/man, not /usr/local/share/man. So it's in = /usr/local but why not in /usr/local/share? And it's orphaned. Should it = be?=20 I have just completed a several day cleanup of my local ports = installation so I'm a little mystified at this. I also rebuilt my kernel = and world so I should be up-to-date there too.=20 -- Paul Beard Are you trying to win an argument or solve a problem?=20
