I think that the problem is that you need to set your environment. If
you type
echo $PATH
and
echo $MANPATH
in Terminal or in an xterm, I think you'll fink that they are fairly

whether you are using bash or tcsh or ...
From 10.2 on, I believe, the paths for man pages are determined by
'manpath' (see 'man' for details). You can override this by setting
MANPATH, but generally, it's better to work with "manpath.conf".
If you type
man /bin/ls
then I think you'll get the man pages for ls. The problem is that
'/bin' is not in your path.
Um... No, I don't think this will work. The "man" command won't know
about "/bin/ls" no matter how you set things up. I think the problem
is as addressed by other respondents.

Justin
