No manual entry after switching to zsh

[dnamroud]

Hello

I am using Linux Gentoo. Recently i decided to switch from bash to zsh shell, I did installed zsh and i changed the "/bin/bash" to /bin/zsh" in my /etc/passwd file

after re-login and when i try to use a man command I got he following message:
No manual entry for ....

If i switch back to bash I can use the man command...

I know it is a question of missconfiguration somewhere, but i don't know where...

Thank you

Most likly it's due to your $MANPATH not being set when you use zsh.

In bash type

echo $MANPATH

and it should spit out a few paths. If you copy these into whichever the zsh config file is, and you should be fine.

Thank you for your reply, however I checked MANPATH, it is similar in bash and zsh

--> zsh
# echo $MANPATH
/man:/usr/man:/usr/lang/man:/usr/local/man

--> bash
echo $MANPATH
/man:/usr/man:/usr/lang/man:/usr/local/man
