Setting up man pages and InfoExplorer

Please refer to Chapter 14 of the 4.1 System Management Guide (SC23-2525-01).

Prerequisites:

  1. The LANG variable in your environment must be set to the correct value, en_US for US English. To display the variable, enter:
     
       echo $LANG 
    
    Use the command smit chlang to change the LANG variable.

  2. The following filesets must be installed on the hard disk for manual pages and InfoExplorer:

    bos.info.en_US.nav                     Navigation Database-en_US

    bos.info.en_US.cmds_ref          Commands Database

    To determine if these filesets are installed on your system, use the command lslpp -l filesetname.

    To install the necessary filesets, use the command smit install_latest. For more information, refer to the AIX Installation Guide.

    In addition to bos.info.rte, bos.info.en_US.nav, and bos.info.en_US.cmds_ref, the following filesets should be installed according to your application needs.
