F8
"man man" does not find anything.
"man -M /usr/share/man man" finds the man file for man just fine.
Directory permissions look fine. Config files are identical with
another F8 machine.

No manual entry for man
After considerable digging I found a series of errors with the
alliance-libs installation.

Note the extra colons.
ALso note the definition of MANPATH which overrides the settings in
/etc/man.config. If the alliance people are reading the list maybe they
will get the message. I didn't see an address on their website for bugs.
Maybe if somebody else gets curious about laying out VLSI tools and
installs Alliance they might find this and learn why man died.
