[erlang-questions] Re: Erlang manuals problem when installing from Homebrew

[Dmitry Demeshchuk]

Apparently, /usr/local/Cellar/erlang/R14B02/bin/erl was a symlink to
/usr/local/Cellar/erlang/R14B02/lib/erlang/bin/erl

I added a symlink /usr/local/Cellar/erlang/R14B02/lib/erlang/man
leading to the man pages dir and it started working.

The question is: is there the more right way to point Erlang to the
right manuals directory?
