newbie help wanted with installing/using netpbm through macports

[Matt]

I'm on leopard.

My MANPATH is:

MANPATH=/usr/share/man:/usr/local/share/man:/usr/X11/man

I assume I need to add :/opt/local/share/man to it... should it have  
done this automaticly?

or should I delete everything from MANPATH as you say yours is empty....
