Comment (by jokkel at gmail.com):
After just installing, I had the same problem. Although .profile contained
the following lines:
{{{
# MacPorts Installer addition on 2008-06-22_at_14:34:42: adding an
appropriate MANPATH variable for use wi$
export MANPATH=/opt/local/share/man:$MANPATH
# Finished adapting your MANPATH environment variable for use with
MacPorts.
}}}
The manpath hadn't changed as env showed. And so there was no man page
available for port and installed ports. But the changes to path worked.
{{{
jokkel at myMac:~/$ env
MANPATH=/usr/share/man:/usr/local/share/man:/usr/X11/man
(…)
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/opt/local/bin
}}}
Adding the following line to .bash_profile finally did the job.
{{{
export MANPATH=${MANPATH}:/opt/local/man
}}}
It works now. I'm not sure what went wrong. But this should be fixed, as
it is really a basic flaw on non english systems.
