[9fans] Reading man pages in acme

[9fans] Reading man pages in acme

[hugo rivera]

Hello:
When one is using acme under plan 9, it is possible to click in a
given man page name, for example 9pserve(4), and acme opens
immediately in a new window. Well this very nice feature does not work
with acme from plan9port (at least not right out the box) not even
with plan9port's man pages. I think that the problem is that acme does
not know where to look for the man pages, am I right? If so, how can I
tell acme where to look for this man pages? if not, what should I do
to fix this? It seems to me that this would also be possible with
linux own man pages, right?

start the plumber before starting acme. It should help...

This has nothing to do with acme, see plumber(4) and /mnt/plumb/rules
