From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050915 Fedora/1.5-0.5.0.beta1 Firefox/1.4 Description of problem: The "texdoc" shell script included as part of teTeX lets you view documentation on TeX packages if you have it installed. For example, if you have "texdoc-doc" installed, then "texdoc geometry" will pop up the documentation for the "geometry" package. Very helpful ... except that texdoc by default refers to fairly old-fashioned document-viewing applications, some of which I suspect aren't even available for FC4 any more. Here's the relevant configuration: : ${TEXDOCVIEW_dvi='(xdvi %s) &'} : ${TEXDOCVIEW_pdf='(xpdf %s) &'} : ${TEXDOCVIEW_ps='(gv %s) &'} : ${TEXDOCVIEW_html='(htmlview %s) 2>/dev/null || firefox %s &'} : ${TEXDOCVIEW_txt="${PAGER-more} %s"} : ${TEXDOCVIEW_="${PAGER-more} %s"} # no extension, default to pager htmlview and the pager seem all right, but I'd dispute the choices for dvi, pdf, and ps. I only discovered this because I don't actually have xpdf installed at all. In my own KDE-centric world, I'd redefine them to kdvi, kpdf, and kghostview respectively, but I suspect that xdvi, evince, and whatever the default PostScript viewer application is would be equally good choices. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tetex-3.0-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to view a piece of LaTeX documentation that's in PostScript format; e.g., "texdoc texdraw" Actual Results: System responds: /usr/bin/texdoc: line 193: gv: command not found Expected Results: It should have shown the texdraw documentation in the default PostScript viewer application.

Ok, I fixed the texdoctk defaults a while ago to fit Fedora, updates for FC4 are comming soon. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 162442 ***
