does the def.o file exist?

Whats your MANPATH set to? mine is:
/usr/share/man:/usr/local/man:/usr/X11R6.1/man

As it comes RiscBSD has incomplete whatis.db files (as used for apropos
serches, and whatis)... as root do /usr/libexec/makewhatis <pathname to man
directory> for each man directory e.g.

/usr/libexec/makewhatis /usr/X11R6.1/man

This will take a LONG TIME and be fairly processor intensive - however
whatis and apropos will work properly now.

the actuall man pages are at:

ps - /usr/share/man/cat1/ps.0
ld - /usr/share/man/cat1/ld.0
gcc - /usr/share/man/cat1/gcc.0
make - /usr/share/man/cat1/make.0
(gmake - /usr/local/man/cat1/gmake.0)

nroff -man <man page> | more

will let you read them directly - have a look at /etc/man.conf too (This
will probably need changing for X)
