Thread: PostgreSQL man pages

Hello
I installed PostgreSQL, it seems to be running fine now...
However, I also added the manpages to the man path, and now whenever
I use "man -k" I get:

| whatis: warning: can't read the fallback whatis text database.
| whatis: /usr/local/pgsql/man/whatis: No such file or directory

I'm also getting that n a mail to root from Cron.
Any workaround?

I believe most versions of man -k expect to find indexes in the man
directories.  Look around to see if there's a utility called something
like "mkwhatis" that you need to run.  ("man man" will probably point you
to it.)
