Hi, I also have the same issue. however, there was a warning before I do `man find' that says: Warning: cannot open configuration file /usr/share/misc/man.conf So, after a `find /etc -name "man.conf"', I fixed it by this command: cp /etc/defaults/usr/share/misc/man.conf /usr/share/misc/man.conf This maybe a packaging problem? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
