From eef754813f5a9d77ceeb0f10981d0a324967dc02 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexey Shmalko Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2016 13:00:11 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] Set $MANPATH (#1005) Currently, man has issues finding man pages for Nix-installed application (also, `nix-env --help` doesn't work). The issue is caused by custom `$MANPATH` set by my system. That makes man use it instead of searching in default location. Either of next lines workaround the issue: ```sh unset MANPATH export MANPATH=$HOME/.nix-profile/share/man:$MANPATH ``` This patch adds the later line to the `nix-profile.sh` if user has `MANPATH` set. (Not clearing `MANPATH` as that would be disrespect of user's preferences.) As a side-effect, host's man might find man pages installed by Nix. --- scripts/nix-profile.sh.in | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/scripts/nix-profile.sh.in b/scripts/nix-profile.sh.in index cfe05c716..41111848b 100644 --- a/scripts/nix-profile.sh.in +++ b/scripts/nix-profile.sh.in @@ -81,6 +81,10 @@ if [ -n "$HOME" ] && [ -n "$USER" ]; then export SSL_CERT_FILE="$NIX_LINK/etc/ca-bundle.crt" fi + if [ -n ${MANPATH} ]; then + export MANPATH="$NIX_LINK/share/man:$MANPATH" + fi + export PATH="$NIX_LINK/bin:$NIX_LINK/sbin:$__savedpath" unset __savedpath NIX_LINK NIX_USER_PROFILE_DIR NIX_PROFILES fi
