Can't open man pages in SuSE
Ok.. let me restart this question since it has been broken...
In SLES 11 a freshly installed system when I try to get the man pages I get a weird error. /usr/bin/nroff: Can't create temp directory, exiting... I know this error is just confusing because mktemp work just fine. I read around by googling but I can only find people relating the problem without any solution. I found this post which is cute, but I dont want to set my LD_LIBRARY_PATH has it is just a bad patch to solving the real issue. http://svn.pan-starrs.ifa.hawaii.edu...pp/ticket/1079 Has anyone found something to fix this? Some info: SLES 11 x64 guest OS on VMware ESX with 3.8GB of free space ;-) |

I would try running Code:
/bin/mktemp Finally, it probably wouldn't hurt to know what distro and version that you're running, all the documentation that I've run into shows this problem to be Suse specific. You can find this information by typing Code:
cat /etc/issue |
Pete, I split your post out of the original; please don't hi-jack others
threads, or reanimate long gone ones. Cheers, Tink |

Why not? It wasn't fixed anyway? asking out of curiosity here. Yeah but by splitting it, now it doesn't make any sense because I assumed the people would read the openning post.. now my question is worthless because its incomplete.. |

written rules it's generally frowned upon to a) necropost or b) hijack threads. You did both in one go, and people have reported it. One of the reasons being that people who had subscribed to the original thread may not necessarily be interested in getting e-Mail notifications for your tacked on post. Quote:
You don't know that. It wasn't FLAGGED as resolved, but the links that got posted in the original thread may have made the problem of the original poster go away. Unfortunately a good number of our members who receive valuable help don't bother reporting back whether or not they got things sorted, or flag their threads as solved. Cheers, Tink |
