- Subject: makewhatis failure
running /usr/sbin/makewhatis gives:
./makewhatis: cannot create /var/cache/man/whatis:
error 17
running /usr/sbin/makewhatis -v gives:
./makewhatis: cannot create /dev/stderr: directory
nonexistent
anybody have any suggestions? i've found a couple
makewhatis issues in the mailing list, but none seem
directly relevant.
thanks in advance
