Thanks. From what I see, the problem is internal to man. But here is some more info: $ man zip => works $ cp /usr/share/man/man1/zip.1 ~/local/man/man1 $ cd ~/local/man/man1 $ man ./zip.1 => Error $ cd /usr/share/man/man1 $ man ./zip.1 => Works >From the above, the error is not in the man page itself, but in the path (i.e., it works in some directories and not in others).
