My bad. I skimmed the start of that thread, decided it didn't interest me as I don't run kde any more, and skipped it thereafter. > > -bash: eval export LESSOPEN="/usr/bin/lessfile %s"; > > export LESSCLOSE="/usr/bin/lessfile %s %s";: No such file or > > directory > > (0) keeling /home/keeling_ file `which lessfile` > /usr/bin/lessfile: symbolic link to lesspipe > (0) keeling /home/keeling_ file `which lesspipe` > /usr/bin/lesspipe: Bourne shell script text executable > (0) keeling /home/keeling_ dpkg -S lesspipe > less: /usr/share/man/man1/lesspipe.1.gz > less: /usr/bin/lesspipe Yes, I get just the same... How embarrassing -- I should go to bed at night and do these things in the early morning instead -- seems I cut-and-pasted everything, including the double quotes round the line eval `/usr/bin/lessfile` in ~/.bashrc.
