The only reason I can think of is when somebody installs erlang as a

I couldn't get the man pages to work (I tried on i386 and sparc64)
Neither 'erl -man erl' nor 'man erl' works, but it could be my local
issue. Could someone
else confirm that manpages work using both methods.
I see them installed under fake root, but can't find them on a real filesystem.
e.g. I see manpages under
/usr/obj/ports/otp_src_R12B-5/fake-i386/usr/local/man/man1/
but not under:
/usr/local/man/man1/
yet everything else seems to be installed.
here's a few lines from /usr/ports/plist/erlang-docs-12b.5
...
@man man/man1/epmd.1
@man man/man1/erl.1
...
Can someone enlighten me about @man variable in PLIST and how can I check what
it resolves to? Am I doing it wrong?

I updated to a recent snapshot and this problem went away.
Thanks a lot for your patch. Can anyone else test the port, please?
