I do some of my work on a PI and am in no way a power unix person. As
such I often have to attempt to find things in the manuals. Finding
the correct manual that deals with what I'm looking for seems to be
the single most time consuming task in learning anything on the PI.
I'm hoping the gman manual browser will help me conquer this
bottleneck. I've ftp'ed from sgi.com and expanded the archive, but
reading the README file leaves me clueless as to how I should go about
installing this package on my system. Would someone take pity on a
poor soul and post some fairly explicit steps to do this? It would be
greatly appreciated!
Seeking enlightenment...

> How to make gman.
This worked for me.
1. edit the Makefile and comment out the line
# rm -f ${DBDIR}/cat*.[DL]
2. as root, run make catman-db. This will fail to go all the way.
3. run make install.
4. rehash
5. re-run make catman-db.
6. go to lunch (This took about 1.5 hours on my system (25TG) which has lots
of software loaded).
7. rehash and run gman. This (IMHO) is a very nice program.

Sorry I've forgotten the name of the person(s) at SGI who provided gman, but THANKS. It's really a first-rate, elegant program. Robert Sears University of Michigan, Department of Physics
