Man command in AIX 5.3

[ertan]

Can't get man command in AIX 5.3 to work. Infocenter and related filesets are installed and work ok, but man can not find the data. Does anybody know how to make it work?

Thanks in advance.

What's the value of $MANPATH? Have you added the location of your man pages to it?

 

[ertan]

The layout and location of man pages is not similar to previous AIX versions. There is no man, man1 ... directory layout for AIX commands. For example the data for df is in the following directory:

/opt/ibm_help/eclipse/plugins/com.ibm.aix.doc_5.3.0/cmds/aixcmds2/df.htm

I tried different settings for MANPATH but none of them worked.

Have you installed AIX Commands References...?

In AIX 5.3 the filesets are changed. There is no bos.html.en_us.cmds.* If you are using AIX 5.2 or 5.1 this is completely different. The related filsets are :
