ISTR that you are no longer supposed to set MANPATH directly, as the
system handles this for you by searching next to bin directories
(e.g. if your PATH has /usr/local/bin, it will search /usr/local/man
automatically). See the manual pages for manpath or man(1). I find
that even though the manpath command reports /usr/local/teTeX/man as
part of the search path, I don't get any teTeX man pages unless I
add /usr/local/teTeX/bin to PATH. Is this a Tiger-only problem?
