No manual entry for fopen

What the f*ck is going on here?

$ man fopen

No manual entry for fopen

How can Ubuntu leave out the most fundamental man pages? The man pages for system calls and for the C library is the most essential pages if you program on UNIX. With pretty much everything else, you are better off with Google, but for these?

Can someone please tell me how to get my man pages back?

    Hehe, I am programming a new Newick parser *right* *now* but one in C++ using Boost Spirit.

    Good luck with the ClustalW wrapper, though. It was hacked up for a course as an example and I have never used it myself, so I cannot guarantee that it is much use…
