Thanks Patrick Can you tell me the verbatim commands to do the above? And do I do this as user? As root, I have no problems with man in console mode, but as user, this is the message I get: Error: Can't open display: man: command exited with status 256: /usr/bin/zsoelim '/tmp/zmanLTXGSK' | /usr/bin/tbl | /usr/bin/groff -mandoc -TX100 In X, gxditview just comes up empty. Then, when I exit gxditview, I get this: man: command exited with status 256: /usr/bin/zsoelim '/tmp/zmanLTXGSK' | /usr/bin/tbl | /usr/bin/groff -mandoc -TX100 PS: This is a low priority problem, as info <subject> works, but is there an underlying problem with my system?
