After upgrading to Panther and installing X-Tools, several people complained that some unix man pages, specifically section 3 (standard library), are missing. For example, if you try:

credit where credit is due
In academic settings plagiarism is despised, so I am especially cross to this because of something I saw yesterday. Hints like this one are the macosxhints version of online plagiarism that I see so often on this site. This is the same hint and it shows how credit can be given to the appropriate people without using formal citations.

Can you really go as far as to call this "plagiarism "? It's not as though people are trying to score money or status. This is simply a friendly place where Macintosh users are trying to help out other Macintosh users.

The message you link to is so different in diagnosis and solution step that I don't know how you can call it plagiarism, if you can even use that term in a situation like this.

haha, just checked your stats, and indeed it's very easy not to *plagiate* or to give any info that could be related to anything already posted among the billion pages on the web..... how ?

Do you have any particular reason to believe that the poster copied it from elsewhere rather than coming up with it independently?
BSD package and 10.3.x updates
I don't know if I'd do this one. Isn't it possible that some of the BSD components are replaced by updates to Panther? Security updates are the ones I would be concerned about.
BSD package and 10.3.x updates
Pacifist has a "verify" option, which will report whether the the selected files exist on disk already with the correct permissions and with the same contents as in the package. That let me see that almost all almost all of the missing man3 pages were, in fact, simply missing; there were a dozen or so that had changed contents. When you go to install files using Pacifist, it warns you when you're overriting a existing file and lets you skip that one. All in all, it turned out to be a great tool for solving this missing man pages problem.
10.3: Find missing 'man' pages
the pacifist route to /usr/share/man/man3 worked very well for me.
10.3: Find missing 'man' pages
well guys, never did have any problem with those man pages... as they exist without the need of any mod. on my PowerBook.
10.3: Find missing 'man' pages
whether the man3 pages are there or not depends on how you installed panther. if you installed it via the "upgrade" route - as opposed to a fresh install - then the pages are probably missing. consider yourself fortunate if you did an upgrade install and have the man3 pages. if you did a fresh install, then this hint is not for you.
10.3: Find missing 'man' pages
I haven't installed panther but unless I'm mistaken the BSD components are optional. You have to remember to customize the installation to add them.

But don't forget ! Another reason, why you don't get any manpages may be this:
Why remove the receipt?
I was able to fix the problem without first removing the BSD.pkg receipt. The OS X installer seems to realize that the files are missing and installs them properly. |
