no man pages for new applications

[sgt_b]

I can man anything I want that slackware installed for me. Anything that I installed won't man.
Example, I just installed openssh from source. sshd runs fine, and so does ssh. I do a 'man ssh' and get a 'no manual entry for ssh'. Eh? Thats crap. Ran the ./configure for ssh with no options. SSH is installed in /usr/local/(bin,sbin) not /usr/(bin,sbin).
Any ideas? This is a fresh Slackware9.1 install.

Did you install the man pages into the right place?

Filp.

man manpath ;)

'man manpath'
No manual entry

All man pages are either in /usr/man or /usr/local/man

I got to work today, and SSH'd to my home machine. 'man ssh' now generates the proper man page. Locally though I still receive the no man entry. Installed BIND from source, and named returns a man page, and so does dig.
Perl for example, I installed from source, not via slackware's install. That does not generate a man page at all.
Very odd.
Any ideas?

Look at the /etc/man.config file. It usually lists the path under which man looks for its pages. Also when I install in /usr/local/package, I make a symbolic link from /usr/local/package/man/man1/* to /usr/local/man/man1 . This helps me to get my man files automatically. Just a suggestion!
