A messed-up MANPATH environment variable can also cause man pages to not be found. In ‘man’ used on many flavors of Linux, MANPATH behaves differently from, say, PATH: an empty colon-delimited section means something like “use the system’s regular ‘man’ configuration for finding man pages”. Without that, it seems like a bad MANPATH setting will cause default mannpages not to be found.
