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?
