It's not just your SA's this time!

I
installed every single man page package from all 5 of the 5L CD's and can get
man pages for most system commands, nothing C-programming related, etc.
It's random enough that I type "man foo" and then google for "foo aix" to find
the answer. IBM has always been "different" about including online
documentation. When I started with AIXen (back in the 3.1 days) they
included the InfoExplorer CD-ROM which required specific software to view
it. You couldn't just insert it into any old CD-ROM drive on another
system and read it. That's fine if you have dozens of AIXen around.
At the time, I had a single IBM server that hosted all the department's
XTerms. When it went down, there was no paper documentation -- it was all
on that confounded CD-ROM that we coudn't read on a PC or Sun workstation!
:(

At
least now they're HTMLifying it all, but they still insist on being "different"
and not including nroff man pages. *sigh* I think that's my BIGGEST
complaint about AIX ("Ain't Unix")...

We don't GET access to man pages here... they take up too much
space... so does the C compiler.

You will recognize your own path when you come upon it,
because you will suddenly have all the energy and imagination you will ever

As root, from other session, you can run 'slibclean' (check
the man pages for more info). Then there is no
need to rename/remove so *.so library files.
