When I try to run man page on my Red Hat as a normal user I get "No manual entry for zip" If I change to root run: "man zip" and then I get the man page and afterwards I see the same man page as I did with root. Is there some kind of man page generation process taking place when I run it for the first time with root?
I have checked the /usr/share/man/man1/ there seem to be all the man pages for tools I usually use cp, ls, zip etc. I have also set $MANPATH envvar, but still no help.
Am I doing something wrong or the configuration on Red Hats differs from that of other Linux distros?
+1. Only needed to add that execute permissions for others. Also, regarding that
MANPATH
variable, the manual says that the variable used only if it's been set. Sounds like it's not a requirement but can be set to override the default path. – Bhesh Gurung – 2014-06-23T15:40:07.773
