Subject: Re: Problem with xman
Date: Mon, 15 Mar 2004 11:30:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <000b01c40a80$62cb2a70$450210ac@tcgp.dundee.ac.uk> (raw)

Rodrigo,

Thank you. Your mod to /bin/nroff provided as an attachment at
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2004-03/msg00299.html worked
perfectly. That is, an xman page now appears with the expected enhanced
view rather than the escape codes.

As a separate issue, I have noticed that any attempt to view a second xman
page is defeated (at least in XP Pro) with an error message as follows:

    Xman Warning:
    Something went wrong trying to run the command:
    cd /usr/man ; tbl /usr/man/man1/{requested page} | neqn | nroff -man
..{rest of msg off screen}

and

    cannot create /tmp/xman002688: permission denied

whose solution may reside in something to do with permissions rather than
Xman ...

Fergus
