Help,
it seem that i am unable to get man help form solaris 10.
I am running SunOS unknown 5.10 Generic_120012-14 i86pc i386 i86pc
when ever i try to man a command what i get is "No manual entry" like the one below.
# man grep
No manual entry for grep.
# man ls
No manual entry for ls.
# man useradd
No manual entry for useradd.
# man mkdir
No manual entry for mkdir.
could some one help, what i can do?
Is /usr/share/man populated?
If it is populated, check your MANPATH enviromental variable setting.
If not, check output of pkginfo to see if SUNWman is listed.
If SUNWman is not listed, you need to install it using pkgadd to get the manpages.
which software-cluster do you use during install? please post the output of:
# cat /var/sadm/system/admin/CLUSTER
greets,
DN2
I am not using any cluster, simply install developer custom package, the output are as:
# cat /var/sadm/system/admin/CLUSTER
CLUSTER=SUNWCuser
SUNWCuser comes WITHOUT the man pages... i allways use SUNWCxall as my install cluster. uses more space but with 80gb+ hard disks this is no problem...
just begin to pickup Solaris, need your help to elaborate:
what do you mean by populated?
# env |grep MANPATH
MANPATH=/usr/dt/man:/usr/man:/usr/openwin/share/man
From the pkginfo SUNWman is not listed.
# pkginfo|grep SUNWman
how to pkgadd manpages?
Thanks
is it a problem to do a clean new install of your machine? if not, reinstall and use ALL+OEM for yout packages during the installation. its much easier...
Would you help me to install the Manpage? I would not prefer to install the entire OS again :(, I have install it at least 4 time by now.... I would prefer to learn some pkgadd as well..... yes.... it may not be easy...... thanks
When you do the normal install there is option along the lines of
[ ] developer and OEM
[ ] developer
.....
I always go for the everything except OEM.
pkgadd -d device
You need to find the package files to install on your CDs.
man pages section 1M: System Administration Commands: pkgadd(1M)
