Hello,

I installed the Rakudo Star Mac OS X 2017.01 DMG installer on a new MacBook Pro and had the following problem​:
The p6doc command (run in iTerm2) cannot find the documentation.

I discussed with Coke and Zoffix on IRC​: https://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2017-02-27#i_14173490 <https://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2017-02-27#i_14173490>

Since I did not see it on the bug tracker I would like to make sure you know about it so it can be fixed for the next Rakudo Star release, thanks!

What does work is if you do p6doc -l then you can view most of the docs listed (except zef). However it does not work for any of the other examples displayed when you run p6doc without arguments.

Coke said​: last time I mentioned an issue with this, someone said it was a known issue
Zoffix said​: I opend an Issue on the topic​: Raku/doc#1224 <https://github.com/perl6/doc/issues/1224>
(p6doc mentions `Type​::*` in instructions / LTA errors on unknown types #​1224)

15​:48 <https://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2017-02-27#i_14173562>  Zoffix `p6doc Str` works for me. Did you run `pd6doc-index build`?
15​:48 <https://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2017-02-27#i_14173563>  mattr__ yes
15​:48 <https://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2017-02-27#i_14173564>  Zoffix faq works too for me. This is on Bodhi Linux
15​:48 <https://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2017-02-27#i_14173565>  no idea why it don't work for oyu
15​:49 <https://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2017-02-27#i_14173567>  mattr__ I think as Coke (thanks!) notes there is some problem with the latest max os x dmg installer

To reproduce the error​:

The kind of errors I saw​:

Confirmed bug still appears in Rakudo 2017.04 Mac OS X .dmg install.
None of the examples given in the p6doc command help actually work.

Given that a dmg install is the first thing a newbie would try, this is important to growing the Perl 6 community.

Based on a clean install on a new 2016 MacBook Pro.
This is Rakudo version 2017.04.3 built on MoarVM version 2017.04-53-g66c6dda
implementing Perl 6.c.

The RT System itself - Status changed from 'new' to 'open'

From @stmuk

This problem was cross-platform and not just OS X and was fixed by

Raku/doc@7d9e87c

@stmuk - Status changed from 'open' to 'resolved'
