Re: Problems with man

Hi

I recently installed Cygwin on my desktop machine (Win2k 5.00.2195
Service Pack 2), and I am having trouble with getting man pages. Here is
some output:

duane@USD22C821 ~
$ man man
/usr/bin/tbl: not found
/bin/cat: not found
/usr/bin/nroff: not found
/usr/bin/less: not found
Error executing formatting or display command.
System command (cd /usr/man && (echo ".pl 1100i"; /bin/cat
'/usr/man/man1/man.1'
; echo; echo ".pl \n(nlu+10") | /usr/bin/tbl | /usr/bin/nroff -c -mandoc
| /usr/
bin/less -isrR) exited with status 32512.
No manual entry for man

I have read the FAQ, and yes, I have ash installed. Trying the same from
a sh:

duane@USD22C821 ~
$ sh
\[\033]0;\w\007
\033[32m\]\u@\h \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\]
$ man man
/usr/bin/tbl: not found
/usr/bin/nroff: not found
/usr/bin/less: not found
Error executing formatting or display command.

; echo; echo ".pl \n(nlu+10") | /usr/bin/tbl | /usr/bin/nroff -c -mandoc
| /usr/
bin/less -isrR) exited with status 32512.
No manual entry for man
\[\033]0;\w\007

What do I have configured wrong?

This looks like a permission problem but there's nothing obviously wrong from your setup log or cygwcheck output. Can you invoke any of these directly from bash without problems? What do the ownerships look like on these files? What does 'getfacl' say for these files?
