I use man-1.0 in Slackware. I'd been waiting for the long-promised man 2.0, and now that it's finally come along, it won't compile. Not easily, anyway. I did manage to get it to compile by ruthlessly hacking the header files, but then it still wouldn't work. I'm going to stick with man-1.0 until something that works comes along. Don't suggest Perl - there's no way I'm going to require everyone install a hog like that just so they can read the man pages. If you want to try to get this to function, have at it. -------- A later note: man-1.3 was released, and I like it better than man-2.0. They aren't from the same development teams, and 1.3 seems to be a much more logical extension of the version I was using before. It compiles out of the box, and drops right into place on Slackware with no changes needed. Therefore, Slackware now uses man-1.3. :^)
