Still something dodgy going on with 1.7.0-55: $ man ls Error executing formatting or display command. System command (cd "/usr/share/man" && (echo ".pl 1100i"; /usr/bin/gunzip -c '/usr/share/man/man1/ls.1.gz'; echo ".\\\""; echo ".pl \n(nlu+10") | /usr/bin/tbl | /usr/bin/nroff -c -mandoc 2>/dev/null | /usr/bin/less -isrR) exited with status 127. No manual entry for ls Invoking that command directly works fine. This shows the ls manual page: $ cd "/usr/share/man" && (echo ".pl 1100i"; /usr/bin/gunzip -c '/usr/share/man/man1/ls.1.gz'; echo ".\\\""; echo ".pl \n(nlu+10") | /usr/bin/tbl | /usr/bin/nroff -c -mandoc 2>/dev/null | /usr/bin/less -isrR $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 Tobermory 1.7.0(0.212/5/3) 2009-07-31 23:45 i686 Cygwin Andy -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
