need help troubleshooting man

[Jonathan Horne]

i remember a thread from a few weeks back, that i followed closely, but
was never able to resolve my issue as the original poster did.  i have a
6.1-STABLE system that the bulk of my mans to not work, but some that are
recently installed from ports are working.  can someone guide me thru
trouble shooting this issue?

i have several other boxes that are RELENG, and they all ahve 100% working
man pages, but this system (which is also my only system with x/kde) is
the only one not working.
