When I type man -k [anything], I always get this result:

[anything]: nothing appropriate

It doesn't matter what I substitite for "anything".  I have the
environment variable MANPATH set like this in .bash_profile:

MANPATH=/usr/bin/man:/usr/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/X11R6/man:/usr/local/man

Can someone suggest an answer?  Thanks!

the mandb cron job has not been run yet, i think its a weekly:

/etc/cron.weekly/mandb

should make it run now, it takes a while.
