Hi, Did you ever get a response? I have the same problem, and although I edited the manpath config file as described below, it's using $MANPATH, which I can't find, and which still has the empty file listed.

I've been getting

gdbm fatal: read error

when trying to use man pages recently. Does anyone know what this might mean?

A fix is to remove /usr/local/man from the MANPATH. There is actually nothing in /usr/local/man except the standard man* folder. All the permissions in /usr/local/man are the same as those in /usr/share/man.

All suggestions welcome.
