It certainly sounds like a strange problem. I suspect that:
1. It is not your Cygwin (Unix) permissions since you can execute /usr/bin/tbl
manually (and /usr/bin/man, but man cannot execute other things)
2. You are running NT/2000/XP and there is something wrong with the ACLs. I'm
afraid I'm not much of an expert at troubleshooting ACLs. You might read the
Cygwin User's Guide section about NT permissions.
I see an interim solution, though... you can just read man pages with pinfo or
info. You also might try reinstalling the 'man' package to make sure the
config files weren't hosed.
HTH.

Try running "man -d xxxx"
It will output line(s) such as
not executing command:
(cd /usr/man ; (echo -e ".pl 1100i"; cat /usr/man/man1/ln.1; echo ".pl \n(nlu+10") | /usr/bin/tbl |
/usr/bin/groff -Tascii -mandoc | gzip > /usr/man/cat1/ln.1.gz)
Now try executing the command(s) from the shell (cut & paste)

Thanks to Joshua D. Franklin and Mark A. Harig for their prompt responses! Alas, not all is well:

"mount" gives:
Y:\bin\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts on /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts type user (binmode)
C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type user (binmode)
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type user (binmode)
C:\cygwin on / type user (binmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type user (binmode,noumount)
g: on /cygdrive/g type user (binmode,noumount)
m: on /cygdrive/m type user (binmode,noumount)
t: on /cygdrive/t type user (binmode,noumount)
w: on /cygdrive/w type user (binmode,noumount)
x: on /cygdrive/x type user (binmode,noumount)
y: on /cygdrive/y type user (binmode,noumount)
I can call both groff and tbl from the command line, e.g.
"groff -h" or "tbl -h" give the respective usage info

The script was named "update-info-dir.sh.done", probably indicating it had been run. When I started it, it completed without any problems. info now works. Thanks!
But the other problem persists. Could it be something about permissions? I have installed cygwin as a non-admin user (I don't have admin rights on my working PC... it's a sad world).
Thanks & cheers

I can think of a couple of possibilities.
What does the output of "mount" say? (/usr/bin should be mapped to /bin)
Can you actually execute /usr/bin/groff.exe? (Permissions problem?)
> "info: dir: No such file or directory"
This sounds like the /etc/postinstall/ stuff did not run correctly.
Try 'sh /etc/postinstall/update-info-dir.sh" (that may not be the exact
name of the script) and see if there are any errors.

'info' relies on a file named 'dir' (typically, in /usr/info).
The _update-info-dir package attempts to generate this. You
should find a script in /etc/postinstall/ named
'update-info-dir.sh.done.' Try re-running that script. It
might provide clues about what is wrong with your system
configuration.

As requested at http://cygwin.com/bugs.html,
please include the output of 'cygcheck -s -v -r'
(as an attachment).

Hello,
I've just installed Cygwin from the Web onto a Windows NT 4.0 machine. I chose the defaults plus the "man" package. On logging in, some things do not work:
"man cmd" gives (for cmd = anything)
"/usr/bin/tbl: not found
/usr/bin/groff: not found"
Both programs are installed, though, and can be called from the command line just fine. They are within the $PATH, too.
"info" gives
"info: dir: No such file or directory"
although /usr/info is present and well populated.
Does anybody have an idea what's going on?
