Problem with man and /etc/man.conf
Hello together,
I have installed the newest version of zsh in /usr/local/zsh/...
The manpages of this version are in /usr/local/zsh/share/man/
I want 'man zsh' and 'man zshall' to search the manpage in this location so I edited '/etc/man.conf'
and added the line
MANPATH /usr/local/zsh/share/man
before the MANPATH section and the line
MANPATH_MAP /usr/local/zsh/bin /usr/local/zsh/share/man
before the MANPATH_MAP section.
It seems that this is completely ignored by Mac OS X.
'man zsh' still leads me to the manpages of the old version, 'man zshall' throws an error "Cannot open the message catalog "man" ..."
I could set MANPATH in .zshrc, but this is not the way it supposed to work.
Any suggestions to set up man correctly would be appreciated.
Best regards
Martin
