missing man pages after new install
|
|
|
| Hi,
I recently installed Debian "sarge" 3.1r5. I seem to be missing man
pages for read(), write(), poll(), etc. I do have them for
pthread_exit() and pthread_create(). I checked and I have glibc-doc
installed. I even re-installed it. I started looking through all the
debian *-doc packages, but got tired after the 'p's (too many of 'em).
Anyone out there know what package I'm missing?
Thanks much!
Jim

| Never mind! It's manpages-dev. Too bad the docs aren't consistent in
naming ("-doc")  . One weird thing--aptitude says more
comprehensive info can be found in glibc-doc.

Try the 'manpages-dev' package.

It's a packages for program developing. That's why it is -dev
Like any other -dev package
