My system is Win2000, running cygwin 1.3.18.
I could start xman to display the first manpage, but it failed to
display the next manpage.
The symptom is:
error message displayed in concole:
cannot create /tmp/xman002444: permission denied
xman displays "PleaseStandby" dialog with the following warning message in
the xman main window:
Something went wrong trying to run the command: cd /usr/man; tbl ... | neqn
| nroff -man > /tmp/xman002444 2> /dev/null
I checked strace output, it seemed that it did access
c:\cygwin\tmp\xman002444,
I have correct permission for /tmp:
drwxrwxrwt+ 23 admin adminstr 28672 Feb 7 16:40 /tmp
Does anyone experience the same problem w/ xman?
Thanks in advance,
-Alex
