Ubuntu Missing C Manpages
November 5th, 2007 Pekk Posted in Ubuntu, Linux |
Today I tried looking up some C functions in the manpages on my ubuntu and noticed that they were missing. As it turns out, Ubuntu does not by default install the manpages developer package. To install the C reference man pages install the following packages via apt-get:
apt-get install manpages manpages-dev
If you’re still having problems try also:
apt-get install manpages-posix manpages-posix-dev
The latter is what worked for me but then I found out about the manpages-dev package, and most likely this package includes the posix-dev, but I’m not 100% sure.
