Here's another idea. If you think a man page containing the word "vorbis" was installed with this program, try this:
First, make sure you're running the korn shell...
/bin/ksh
Copy the following into the korn shell command line. If you're curious what this does I can explain.
for dir in `echo $MANPATH | tr : ' '` ; do grep -i vorbis $dir/*/* ; done
If nothing happens it probably didn't find the word "vorbis" in any man pages. If that's the case, to make sure the search worked, look for something much more likely to be there, like the word "description".
for dir in `echo $MANPATH | tr : ' '` ; do grep -i description $dir/*/* ; done
If that prints lots of results then the search probably worked. If not, then it probably didn't work.
Then exit the korn shell:
exit
Make sure the stuff in italics gets entered on a single command line. Ignore the post I deleted. It contained an error.
Oh, yeah, one last thing. It's dangerous to "copy the following into the korn shell command line" if you don't know what "the following" does. You can trust me, though. Really :-)
