如何在不使用 sudo 且不在根目录下运行 man ？

Question

I've encountered a problem that I can't seem to find a solution for. Running the man command anywhere that isn't in ~ or without using sudo returns:

"/usr/bin/man: can't execute less: Invalid argument

/usr/bin/man: command exited with status 255: ..."

I've tried running export MANPAGER=less

$PAGER and $MANPAGER are set to less. It still does not seem to work.

What do I do?

Edit: After further review I've noticed that the command works everywhere except a mounted network directory that I use. I can use less and echo man ls`` just fine, but just using man as usual brings up the mentioned issue.

Answer 1

Try to change the permission and ownership of /usr/bin/man. Make it so that it is executable by everyone.
