If I try like [# man -k shell] to see the suitable man pages available with the key word shell on a new SPARC machine I get the following message instead of the result.
Message:

/usr/dt/man/windex : No such file or directory
/usr/man/windex : No such file or directory
/usr/openwin/share/man/windex :No such file or directory

Shall I have to add any extra pakage for this.

Thanks in advance.

Suresh.

Try running, as &quot;root&quot;, &quot;catman -w&quot;. This should create the &quot;whatis&quot; database(s) that are required when you use the &quot;-k&quot; option with &quot;man&quot;.

You are always catching my point.
