    Here's an annoying thing that's likely bothering someone else too:

    I have a great deal of local software, set up in /usr/local
    among the directories there is a /usr/local/man directory

    Now: My .profile man path (ksh), shows
    MANPATH=/usr/share/man:/usr/local/man

    Problem: can't get any man pages for any cmds installed in /usr/local
    I've tried various combinations of catman (including -M /usr/local/man)
    as well as even a batch job to put a symbolic link from the /usr/local/man/CMD
    dir to the main man directory

    I'm missing something really stupid, care to be the one to let me know where
    I've messed up?

    (so close, yet so far!!!)

    Mitch

    Oh. Solaris 5.8
