I can't duplicate the problem on my GNU/Linux box, and IRIX 6.5's man just says it fails to support `.so', and since I'm mostly clueless as far as man-pages go, I'm not sure whether .so is supposed to list a pathname relative to the location of the file that contains the directive or the pathname is searched in the MANPATH. Current behavior seems to indicate the latter, but the bug report seems to imply this is not portable. Installing the gcc man-page as g++.1 is probably as good a solution as any. I don't quite like the idea of installing a soft-link because soft links are not that portable, and the fallback on systems that don't support it is copying, which may not do the right think if g++.1 is installed before gcc.1. -- Alexandre Oliva Enjoy Guarana', see http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Red Hat GCC Developer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} CS PhD student at IC-Unicamp oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist Professional serial bug killer
