Greetings all:
I am attempting to utilize procmail on a Silicon Graphics
Iris Indigo workstation. Everything seems to install OK, (though I get
a lot of "cfe: Warning 581: /usr/include/sysexits.h:107: Macro EX_OK redefined."
messages when I type "make install" from withing the procmail-3.10 directory)
At least I THINK everything installed properly. I didn't get any fatal error
messages, and I can type "procmail -v", which is how I got this address.
However, I can't seem to access the man pages and thus I can't figure
out how to make the .forward and .procmailrc files I need to do what I want.
During the installation I got the messages:
Installed in /usr/local/bin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 62208 Dec 18 23:55 formail
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 37632 Dec 18 23:55 lockfile

-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 7990 Dec 18 23:54 procmailsc.5
cfe: Warning 581: /usr/include/sysexits.h:107: Macro EX_OK redefined.
Which would lead me to believe that there is where my man pages should be.
Thus, I alterred my .login file to include these directories in my MANPATH
variable. I've also enterred them manually as the -M option in the man
command. I've tried installing with the MANCOMPRESS line commented and
uncommented in the Makefile. However, whatever I do when I type
"man procmail" or "man forward" or anything else I think might tell me how
to set up procmail I get: "no man page entry found."
Can anyone tell me how to get to my man pages? Procmail looks like it's going
to be a great piece of software if I can ever figure out how to use it.
If anyone is kind enough to tell me where I am going wrong I would greatly
appreciate it. I'm not subscribed to this mailing list, so please send any
replies directly to me at:

I may subscribe soon. At the moment, I get WAY too much mail to subscribe to
another list. Procmail was supposed to help me with that, if I can ever get
it going. Thanks for any help you may be able to offer.
