hello,

the erlang package needs a profile.d/script that will do the following:

export MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/lib/erlang/man

otherwise it will tell you it found no manual entries.

Hi,

try:

erl -man rpc

erlangs uses a private MANDIR (there are conflicts with other system manpages, for example rpc(3)).
Other distributions add a suffix like "rpc.3erl".I prefer to keep the the package vanilla (like descriped on the online documentation)
