I have man pages located at a different path than the default /usr/share/man. I have set an environment variable in a ~/.profile file with this line: $MANPATH="path1:path2" It works in the terminal when I type 'man command' but not in xcode when using the Help>Man pages menu.

How can I tell xcode to search with a different man path ?

The environment of the shell that launches a program determines what its environment is by default. I don't know what the Finder sets, but it wouldn't respect your shell login files I imagine.

One way to force Xcode to see your MANPATH would be to launch it directly from the shell, e.g. from a terminal run /Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode

You could also stick this in a shell script text file with extension ".command" and give it execute permissions ("chmod +x filename" from a terminal), so that it would be "double-clickable" from the Finder - although this would launch your terminal first before Xcode.
