Hi Junjun,

You may want to double-check the permissions of your
/usr/share/man, /usr/share/man/man1, and /usr/share/man/man1/*

It might turn out that only root is allowed to read them in your Linux OS.

Hi all,

I'm using SUSE10 64bit. I can't use "man" command since I finished the
full installation. please see below for example:
====
liu@linux:~> man ls
No manual entry for ls
liu@linux:~> man echo
No manual entry for echo
===

I think it should be related to a man path varible, but I don't know
what and how to fix. Any suggestions are appreciated!


Those work fine on my 64b 10.1 system. Did you install the man pages?
