Description
man 2.7.6.1-2 (i686) gets us:
man.exe: fork failed: No such file or directory
LIBC PANIC!!
LIBC fork: Child aborting fork()! rc=0xfffffffe
when run from \. Changing to any subdirectory one or more levels deep, whether in %PATH% or not, alleviates the symptom. I know we've seen this with other things (yum, for example, or python; see https://trac.netlabs.org/rpm/ticket/252).
The more likely solution for this is in LIBC or perhaps LIBCX. Feel free to close this when an appropriate ticket is opened. Sorry to be a nuisance with this one.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
this is unfortunately an issue, which we can't fix atm. As it's a libc issue somewhere. And there are several ticket for that open already. So I close this in favor of the others. :)
