That took me some reading but after that and after inspecting the suggested path's available sections this is what I appended for Tcl/Tk: _whatdb /usr/local/lib/tcl8.5/man/whatis.db _whatdb /usr/local/lib/tk8.5/man/whatis.db _default /usr/local/lib/{tcl,tk}8.5/man/ 1 /usr/local/lib/{tcl,tk}8.5/man/man1 3 /usr/local/lib/{tcl,tk}8.5/man/man3 n /usr/local/lib/{tcl,tk}8.5/man/mann And this for JDK: _whatdb /usr/local/jdk-1.7.0/man/whatis.db _default /usr/local/jdk-1.7.0/man/ 1 /usr/local/jdk-1.7.0/man/man1 That is just a suggestion. I still contemplate if I want the _default lines... -- / Raimo Niskanen, Erlang/OTP, Ericsson AB
