F8
"man man" does not find anything.
"man -M /usr/share/man man" finds the man file for man just fine.
Directory permissions look fine. Config files are identical with
another F8 machine.

adding /usr/lib/alliance/man to manpath
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ magic line ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
No manual entry for man

After considerable digging I found a series of errors with the
alliance-libs installation.

===8<--- From the end of alc_env.sh
# System environment variables.

if [ -z "${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" ]; then
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ALLIANCE_TOP/lib
else
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ALLIANCE_TOP/lib:
fi
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

if [ -z "${MANPATH}" ]; then
  MANPATH=$ALLIANCE_TOP/man
else
  MANPATH=$MANPATH:$ALLIANCE_TOP/man:
fi
export MANPATH

# fixing *** ERROR *** : Variable MBK_SPI_MODEL not found.
 MBK_SPI_MODEL=$ALLIANCE_TOP/etc/spimodel.cfg;      export MBK_SPI_MODEL

===8<--- Below works AND even gives the alliance man entries.
# System environment variables.
PATH=$PATH:$ALLIANCE_TOP/bin
export PATH

# Only needed on Solaris (included in /etc/ld.so.conf under Linux).
if [ -z "${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" ]; then
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ALLIANCE_TOP/lib

  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ALLIANCE_TOP/lib
fi
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Note the extra colons.

ALso note the definition of MANPATH which overrides the settings in
/etc/man.config. If the alliance people are reading the list maybe they
will get the message. I didn't see an address on their website for bugs.

Maybe if somebody else gets curious about laying out VLSI tools and
installs Alliance they might find this and learn why man died.
