Section 2 man pages missing

Hi
I am a fedora user for years now. I just installed fedora 12 x86_64 and loved it. It has added more features to it and it looks are great. but yesterday i just noticed that the section 2 man pages are missing from fedora 12. Guys is there any package that I have to install and I missed to install it and so it is not showing the man pages. I have installed all the standard development packages already and they all work fine. One example is the gettimeofday() function call, this works fine when I use it in my code. But unfortunately there are no man pages for it. Anybody have a ideas how to fix this problem or what package I have to install so that the section 2 man pages will be displayed. Thanks in advance.

Hi
The section 2 man pages which you are talking works perfect on my machine, I ma running Fedora 12 on x86_64. Here is the output of the

man pages.

I think you have not installed the packages properly, that is why it is not displaying the man pages.

Hello
I think you have a missing or a corrupt package. I am also using Fedora 12 and i do not have such issues. Still, If you want do install the man pages package then just follow to the below posted.

Code:

---

man-pages-3.22-6.fc12.noarch : Man (manual) pages from the Linux Documentation
                            : Project
Repo        : installed
Matched from:
Other      : Provides-match: /usr/share/man/man2/gettimeofday.2.gz

Any more problems do post back. I think this will definitely fix your problem, this is an simple issue and you can fix it easily.

Hi
I have recently upgraded my system to fedora 12. And I am also facing the same problems with the man pages. Platform is i686. Even after group installing the Development tools I am get such a message.

Code:

---

nachi@laptop ~]$ man gettimeofday
No manual entry for gettimeofday

---

Though now I have fixed the problem by just installing it.

Code:

---

"yum install man-pages"

---

This is strange, I had never faced such problem before, that is I had to never install the man pages manually after my installation of the Fedora operating system. Forget it, might be a small mistake.
