I can't reproduce this in Red Hat Linux 7. Does the man page source look OK? (just zcat through a pipe to less) a) Using "zcat /usr/man/manl/dgesv.l.gz | less" delivers: .TH DGESV l "30 November 1999" "LAPACK version 3.0" ")" .SH NAME DGESV - compute the solution to a real system of linear equations ^@ E * X = B, .SH SYNOPSIS .TP 12 TINE DGESV( N, NRHS, A, LDA, IPIV, B, LDB, INFO ) ^@FO ) .TP 12 .ti +4 R INFO, LDA, LDB, N, NRHS ^@NRHS .TP 12 .ti +4 R IPIV( * ) ^@ * ) .TP 12 .ti +4 PRECISION A( LDA, * ), B( LDB, * ) ^@ * ) .SH PURPOSE DGESV computes the solution to a real system of linear equations A * X = B, where A is an N-by-N matrix and X and B are N-by-NRHS matrices. so the part after .SH SYNOPSIS looks disturbed... rpm -qf /bin/zcat gzip-1.2.4a-2 b) Using lapack-man-3.0-8 of RH 7.0 Powertools has rightly formatted man pages, but the man path is /usr/share/man that is not in the default man path of RH 6.2 OK, so the man page source look bad in 6.2. "rpm -V lapack-man" and "rpm -K your.i386.rpm" seem OK? Anyway, a solution is to use the new RPM, and add /usr/share/man to /etc/man.config |
Using man to read the man pages of package lapack-man-3.0-4-i386.rpm leads to outputs like: DGESV(l) ) DGESV(l) NAME DGESV - compute the solution to a real system of linear equations E * X = B, SYNOPSIS TINE DGESV( N, NRHS, A, LDA, IPIV, B, LDB, INFO ) FO ) R INFO, LDA, LDB, N, NRHS NRHS R IPIV( * ) * ) PRECISION A( LDA, * ), B( LDB, * ) * ) having a wrong formatted SYNOPSIS'. Some leading information seems to be cut off. INTEGER -> R ... and so on.. Please fix this, thanks, Michel
