man & traceroute

man & traceroute

[Michael Cook]

Hello,
  I have tried many versions of 'man' & get the following error:

/usr/sbin -> man ls
Error executing formatting or display command.
System command (cd /usr/man ; (echo -e ".pl 1100i"; cat /usr/man/man1/ls.1;
echo
 ".pl \n(nlu+10") | /usr/bin/tbl | /usr/bin/groff -Tascii -mandoc | less
-is) ex
ited with status 32512.
No manual entry for ls

Any ideas?

I am running the latest CYGWIN & bash on Win2000 Pro SP1,
Michael

This is in the FAQ now.  ("Why doesn't man work?")  Hope it helps.
Bet it won't.

Cheers,
David

I'm trying 'FAQ man' now...  Nope.

I'm just a newbie but it seems to me that the FAQ should work!
