BUG: "man zshall" can't include the individual man pages

[vincent-opdarw@…]

When doing a "man zshall", I get the errors:

<standard input>:478: can't open `man1/zshmisc.1': No such file or directory <standard input>:479: can't open `man1/zshexpn.1': No such file or directory <standard input>:480: can't open `man1/zshparam.1': No such file or directory <standard input>:481: can't open `man1/zshoptions.1': No such file or directory <standard input>:482: can't open `man1/zshbuiltins.1': No such file or directory <standard input>:483: can't open `man1/zshzle.1': No such file or directory <standard input>:484: can't open `man1/zshcompwid.1': No such file or directory <standard input>:485: can't open `man1/zshcompsys.1': No such file or directory <standard input>:486: can't open `man1/zshcompctl.1': No such file or directory <standard input>:487: can't open `man1/zshmodules.1': No such file or directory <standard input>:488: can't open `man1/zshtcpsys.1': No such file or directory <standard input>:489: can't open `man1/zshzftpsys.1': No such file or directory <standard input>:490: can't open `man1/zshcontrib.1': No such file or directory

With the "man" utility from DP, I get the same errors (with a difference of 1 on the line numbers).

This may be due to the fact that the files are compressed: if I do a

gunzip -c zshmisc.1.gz > zshmisc.1

then zshmisc.1 can be included. However, the fact that this doesn't work with compressed files is not normal: on Debian, the files are also compressed, but all the man pages are included without any error.

I've also installed the groff port, but I still get the same problem.

I cannot reproduce this.

m00:~/src/dports olegb$ port installed zsh The following ports are currently installed:

zsh @4.2.6_0

I can. it's really annoying.

I cannot reproduce this.

Do you have a file /opt/local/share/man/cat1/zshall.1.bz2? If you do, what size is it?

When you do "man zshall", do you get version 4.2.6 of the manual or a lower version? (In the latter case, this would mean that you get the man page of the zsh that comes with Mac OS X; here this one works, but there's only /usr/share/man/man1/zshall.1, not the cat1 file, and it is not compressed).

BTW, is it the zsh make file that compresses the man pages or DP? And what does generate the cat files?

dp gzips them (i think that's a stupid idea)

`man zshall' works flawless even w/o any warnings here on my 10.4/ppc box (with Apple's /usr/bin/man)

Are you on 10.3?

I still get the same errors, with both Apple's /usr/bin/man and DP's /opt/local/bin/man (well, I need to remove /opt/local/man/cat1/zshall.1.bz2 first, otherwise I get this wrong cached result without the errors, and I also need to redirect stderr to some file, otherwise the errors are not always visible). In both cases, I get this 388-line incomplete man page, whereas under Linux (with all the included files), the man page has more than 20000 lines.

Are you on 10.3?

No 10.4.7. But I'm now using the zsh-devel port:

zsh-devel @4.3.2_0+darwin_8+dp_completion+utf8

Fixed in r27586.
