manpages not working
Hello,
i've probably missed something when i installed my slackware 10. Whenever i want to view a man page i get the following error: # man iptables Error executing formatting or display command. System command /bin/bzip2 -c -d /usr/man/cat8/iptables.8.bz2 | /usr/bin/less -is exited with status 256. Does anyone know what i am missing or what is broken? Thanx |
Slack can't find the iptables manpage in the location specified in the error message ( /usr/man/cat8/iptables.8.bz2). Verify that's where the manpage is located. If you find manpage somewhere else, try to correct the situation manually, like this:
MANPATH=/path/to/manpages export MANPATH Then try again. |
