I'm not sure what must be done special to reproduce, since it's broken by default on my system. The problem is still that in vendor.h, SYSMANPATH is being set to /usr/man. On my system, /usr/man is a nonexistant directory. If you guys have old symlinks lying around then this would explain why you can't reproduce the issue. SYSMANPATH is passed to man(1) when running apropos. man searches all zero man pages in /usr/man and consequently returns no results. I'm no longer sure that the best fix is to change the ./configure call as mentioned before. It's probably better to modify the whole program to use whatever the system default man path is (which man can determine at runtime), rather than one hard coded at compile time. If that's too difficult, adding a special case for linux to vendor.h should be reasonably sufficient. ii man-db 2.4.3-6 The on-line manual pager -- Ken Bloom. PhD candidate.
