It's possible that you need to add this variable to some file=20 under /etc/env.d, or perhaps add a global alias and/or function=20 in /etc/profile.d, or maybe an nroff or man or other package configuration= =20 file. I suppose make.conf could be used, but I'm fairly certain those=20 variables aren't guaranteed to filter down to any subprocesses -- they are= =20 only meant to affect the behavior of ebuilds. In /etc/env.d or /etc/make.conf you'll use the VARIABLE=3D"value" syntax. = =20 In /etc/profile.d anything bash can handle will work. For another=20 configuration file, it might be totally different. In any case, most packages don't provide a generic way to modify their=20 default=20 parameters (via environment variables or anything else), and I would guess= =20 that setting the NROFF variable to some value wouldn't actually change the= =20 way the nroff binary worked (but it could!). It could very well be a bug but, you are going to have to be more specific= =20 about the behavior you are trying to achieve with that "make.conf" setting.= =20 =46eel free to file at b.g.o. if you think this is a failing of the package= =20 or=20 the portage system. =2D-=20 Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,=3D ,-_-. =3D.=20 bss03@volumehost.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-'=20 http://iguanasuicide.org/ \_/ =20 New GPG Key!
