[SOLVED] I can't "man" anything anymore

I just got the current update:

* removepkg man
* slackpkg install-new (got man-db)
* slackpkg upgrade-all (got the new man-pages)

Now whenever I try to "man" anything, I get "no manual entry for ...". This is true even for things that I know have man pages, such as ls and bash.

UPDATE: I just ran "mandb", and it didn't seem to make a difference?

UPDATE 2: My "MANPATH" wasn't set right. This might have something to do with the fact that I'm using FISH, and it's not picking up an initialization file. Has anyone using a Slackware-standard shell had this problem?

Works fine here

working fine here

I switched to mandoc instead of man-db after seeing this change which is working fine here too.

Try the man -D and -M switches. I vaguely remember this happened to me (but I was missing some nroff util)

You should man up.

as stated at the end of his post he corrected the setting of MANPATH.

For this you should pay the price of 1 green square. Like in Diablo 2, being killed cost one money.

Edit: something needs to be done to force people, especially all bright green, to think first before post.
