From: schuerch@hasler.ascom.ch (Heinz Schuerch) Subject: [Q] groff-1.06/man-1.1 problems Date: Wed, 24 Feb 1993 12:39:51 GMT
This is my first post to this newsgroup so I would like to first thank to all
the people who brougth Linux so far. It's simply great.
Now my question. I'm looking for a working man; I decided to compile the stuff
myself.
1. groff did not compile out of the box (with the patches from Rik Faith). I
had to change different lines in makefiles like:
@echo ................@
@-rm -................
to
echo .................;
rm - .................
I'm using linux-0.99.5, bash (from hlu's root disk dated ~ 30.12.93) and
make 3.62.
What's wrong with my set-up ?
2. man compiles without any problem but it does not behaves as expected.
The command "$ man man <return>" prompts in less than 10 seconds without
writing anything to the screen.
The command "$ man man | less <return>" produces the nice and expected
output on the screen. The environment variable "PAGER" is set correctly.
What do I wrong here.
