The problem seems to be that certain programs do not recognize the existence of certain environment variables. The programs are CVS, man, and JDK javac, and the variables are CVSROOT, MANPATH, and CLASSPATH respectively. I had forgotten about the problem until I just recently changed shells at my new job (from csh to zsh), effectively disabling both man and javac. The problem seems to be with variables previously (in csh) set with setenv. I would love to hear any advice you have on this matter.
