/etc/manpath.config is appened by teTeX that add the line
MANPATH /usr/local/tetex/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current /usr/local/tetex/man
after that I suppose running manpath as says "man manpath" should
append to the environtment variable the corresponding mapping
(between files in the (i dont understant why son funny named)
/usr/local/tetex/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current (that must be also
in the $path, as is) and the /usr/local/tetex/man directory
but this not works at least in my 10.2.1
man latex does not works and you need to put
man -M /usr/local/tetex/man latex to see the corresponding man's
Why so funny names?
Why do not follow the starndards and name the bins
/usr/local/tetex/bin/
Why that not works?
Tx.
