Hi, I have exactly the same problem on NT4, exit with status 32512...

Could somebody help please.........

Hi all, I have a 'man' problem that has me stumped.  I have man, less, ncurses, and groff all installed (and working individually) but it wont work together.  I do the following:
> 
> 'man bash'
> 
> and i get back this:
> Error executing formatting or display command.
> System command (cd /usr/local/man ; tbl /usr/local/man/man1/bash.1 | groff -Tascii -mandoc | less -is) exited with status 32512.
> 
> 
> Now the really weird thing is if i do those commands individually IT WORKS!  I can cd into the directory and cat out bash.1 to groff and then to less, and it works fine.
> 
> Any ideas??
