/usr/bin/less not working


Hi,


I've got a curious problem. With new kernel 2.6.9 /usr/bin/less doesn't seem to work --> no "man" command either.
when I say

#less file.txt
I get nothing, only:
# (prompt)

when I say
# man lsmod
I get:Error executing formatting or display command.
System command (cd /usr/man && (echo ".ll 8.1i"; echo ".pl 1100i"; /bin/gunzip -c '/usr/man/man8/lsmod.8.gz'; echo ".\\\""; echo ".pl \n(nlu+10") | /usr/bin/gtbl | /usr/bin/nroff -S -mandoc | /usr/bin/less -is) exited with status 256.
No manual entry for lsmod

/usr/bin/less works normally under kernel 2.4.

What have I forgotten with the new kernel?

cheers,
Mikko
