Hmm, I do have /usr/local/man on my manpath, and it did indeed have man1/bash.1, but I don't know if that affected things. > I'm curious how that's gonna work. My ``man'', after i've edited > bash_builtins.1(.gz) to mention man1/bash.1.gz me, says: > > | man1/bash.1.gz:1: warning: can't find character with input code 6 It seems like man can cope with a .so that points to a .gz if that is the only line, but has problems if the .so points to a .gz when embedded in remaining text. I'm not familiar enough with man to know what is going on here, but it does seem like a man issue. Meanwhile, I can distribute bash.1 instead of bash.1.gz since that is all that works with the current version of man. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
