man path

[simanek]

Hi all,
For some reason I cannot do a 'man' on anything. I'm thinking that this has something to do with my manpath. Does anyone know which environment variable I have to set and how to set it if all of my man folders (i.e. man1 man3, man5, man7, man8) are in /usr/local/man? Thanks much. Mike

On my system :-

MANPATH=/usr/man:/usr/opt/SUNWmd/man:/usr/share/man:/opt/hpnp/man:/usr/local/man

For immediate access you could:

man -M /usr/local/man _______

where _______ is the command of interest. But in the long run making the change to MANPATH is best.
