I'm using RH 4.0 and when I use xman I don't see any of the man pages for
X applications. I.e., xman only lists the man pages in /usr/man/man* and
doesn't show the man pages in usr/X11R6/man/man* (or /usr/local/man/man*,
for that matter).
I worked around this by adding
MANPATH=/usr/local/man:/usr/man/X11:/usr/man
export MANPATH
in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc, but I'm wondering if that's the
right way to do things..
Since regular man from the command line seems to find all the man pages
without having MANPATH set, why does xman need this? If I do need to set
MANPATH for xman, is xinitrc the right place to do it?
Does xman show all man pages on your system without any modifications?
Have I screwed up something on my system, or is this a problem with all
RH4.0 systems?
Thanks,
Mark
