Wireshark · Ethereal-users: [Ethereal-users] post-'make install' problem solved

[Chris Sylvain <csylvain@xxxxxxxxx>]

(install done on a SunOS 5.7 system)

first do this:

$ cd /usr/local/man
$ /usr/lib/makewhatis .

and then if you see this after you've completed the install:

$ man ethereal
No manual entry for ethereal.
$ man Ethereal
windex entry incorrect:  Ethereal(1) not found.

you will need to rename the man page file so the windex entry and the
file name are completely consistent:

$ mv ethereal.1 Ethereal.1
$ mv tethereal.1 Tethereal.1

and your reward:

$ man Ethereal
Reformatting page.  Wait... done

 .
 .


enjoy!
