Description of problem: Once a system or user default of openmpi is set: sudo mpi-selector --system --set openmpi-1.2.5-gcc-`uname -i` --yes if MANPATH is unset by any other means, openmpi's mpivars.sh will set MANPATH to, say, /usr/lib/openmpi/1.2.5-gcc/share/man Then, no other man pages can be searched. (e.g., 'man ls' fails) Suggested fix: set MANPATH with trailing colon (:) if MANPATH is empty: --- /usr/lib/openmpi/1.2.5-gcc/etc/mpivars.sh~ 2008-05-25 01:28:57.000000000 -0400 +++ /usr/lib/openmpi/1.2.5-gcc/etc/mpivars.sh 2008-07-21 11:36:14.000000000 -0400 @@ -19,7 +19,7 @@ if [ -n "$MANPATH" ]; then export MANPATH=/usr/lib/openmpi/1.2.5-gcc/share/man:$MANPATH else - export MANPATH=/usr/lib/openmpi/1.2.5-gcc/share/man + export MANPATH=/usr/lib/openmpi/1.2.5-gcc/share/man: fi fi Note for this to take effect, after manual patching, must unregister and re-register openmpi with mpi-selector so the scripts get re-copied to /var/lib/mpi-selector/data/ (or just edit those target files directly) The same applies to the *.csh scripts. It's unfortunate 'man' won't find the man pages without setting MANPATH, but from what I can tell (strace -e trace=file man mpicc 2>&1 | egrep openmpi), man won't look in bin PATH elements "../share/man/". Maybe a symlink to the man dir /usr/lib/openmpi/1.2.5-gcc/man -> share/man.
