I hade several problems in the same time. The first was "How the ports
mechanism works on FreeBSD" and the second was "How can I run the Man app
without any error". The solution was very simple: try to learn one thing
at a time ;).
My problem with wreplace was this line in the Man script
man $* >[2=1] | col -bx | wreplace -c '+Man '^$name^':,'
that I changed for
man $* >[2=1] | col -bx | wreplace -c '~Man '^$name^':,'
et voila, it works.
I will add here my original message because someone said that it never
come to the list.

I always get an error message with wreplace when I try to put two or more
words in argument.
ie.
cat bin/Backup | wreplace -c 'allo toi'
wreplace: unable to find allo toi
I'm trying to incorporate the tools stuff in the FreeBSD ports
mechanism. All the stuff compile/link correct but I can't include some
script like Man(1) who want to do a command like the one above. And
eventually, an error.
Is this problem specific to my system ?
I'm using FreeBSD 4.7-Stable
Thanks
