Man command not working
 
I'm running Slack 9.1. My man commnad does not work. I believe that it is a dependency issue because I get the "Formatting page, please wait...", characteristic of man. However, that is followed by:

sh: line 1: /usr/bin/gtbl: No such file or directory
sh: line 1: /usr/bin/nroff: No such file or directory

Is there some other package that I need to install? I now I got rid of quite a few packages when installing becasue I only have 1.3 gigs on my laptop.

Thanks,
JT

Yep, groff is missing.

Look into
/slackware/ap
on your installation CD's.


Cheers,
Tink
