I reinstalled cygwin, and no longer get have the problems accessing programs from scripts. I was able to execute makewhatis successfully, and whatis yields an entry for from the database, however I haven't yet been able to access any man pages. I ran >man bash, and received no manual entry for bash (same for sh, grep, or anything else) However, I think that I was confused about the original problem. even though the makewhatis script was able to find the man pages and create the whatis database, man is not finding any man pages, I appreciate any help that anyone could offer here is the output from $ echo manpath=$MANPATH; man -dw man; echo; echo whatis...; whatis man; manpath=/usr/local/man:/usr/man Reading config file /etc/man.config found man directory /usr/share/man found man directory /usr/X11R6/man found man directory /usr/local/man found man directory /usr/kerberos/man found man directory /usr/man found manpath map /bin --> /usr/share/man found manpath map /sbin --> /usr/share/man found manpath map /usr/bin --> /usr/share/man found manpath map /usr/sbin --> /usr/share/man found manpath map /usr/local/bin --> /usr/local/man found manpath map /usr/local/sbin --> /usr/local/man found manpath map /usr/X11R6/bin --> /usr/X11R6/man found manpath map /usr/bin/X11 --> /usr/X11R6/man found manpath map /usr/bin/mh --> /usr/share/man found manpath map /usr/kerberos/bin --> /usr/kerberos/man found manpath map /usr/kerberos/sbin --> /usr/kerberos/man using /usr/bin/less -isrR as pager adding /usr/man to manpath No manual entry for man whatis... man (1) - format and display the on-line manual pages man.conf [man] (5) - configuration data for man here is my man.conf file (I omitted the comments) MANPATH /usr/share/man MANPATH /usr/X11R6/man MANPATH /usr/local/man MANPATH /usr/kerberos/man MANPATH /usr/man MANPATH_MAP /bin /usr/share/man MANPATH_MAP /sbin /usr/share/man MANPATH_MAP /usr/bin /usr/share/man MANPATH_MAP /usr/sbin /usr/share/man MANPATH_MAP /usr/local/bin /usr/local/man MANPATH_MAP /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/man MANPATH_MAP /usr/X11R6/bin /usr/X11R6/man MANPATH_MAP /usr/bin/X11 /usr/X11R6/man MANPATH_MAP /usr/bin/mh /usr/share/man MANPATH_MAP /usr/kerberos/bin /usr/kerberos/man MANPATH_MAP /usr/kerberos/sbin /usr/kerberos/man NOCACHE TROFF /usr/bin/groff -Tps -mandoc NROFF /usr/bin/nroff -c -mandoc JNROFF /usr/bin/groff -Tnippon -mandocj EQN /usr/bin/eqn -Tps NEQN /usr/bin/eqn -Tlatin1 JNEQN /usr/bin/eqn -Tnippon TBL /usr/bin/tbl # COL /bin/col REFER /usr/bin/refer PIC /usr/bin/pic VGRIND GRAP PAGER /usr/bin/less -isrR CAT /bin/cat CMP /usr/bin/cmp -s COMPRESS /bin/gzip COMPRESS_EXT .gz MANSECT 1:8:2:3:4:5:6:7:9:tcl:n:l:p:o .gz /bin/gunzip -c .bz2 /bin/bzip2 -c -d .z .Z /bin/zcat .F .Y Here is my new cygcheck after reinstalling cygwin...
