- Subject: makewhatis installation step
I just installed a2ps and then:
Cygwin> apropos a2ps
a2ps: nothing appropriate
Cygwin> makewhatis -u
Cygwin> apropos a2ps
a2ps (1) - format files for printing on a PostScript printer
texi2dvi4a2ps (1) - Compile Texinfo and LaTeX files to DVI or PDF
Cygwin>
So, wondering if it's standard for users to have to run makewhatis after
an install or if that step is missing from a2ps's install script.
