 There's an environment variable, MANPATH that the program
needs to NOT be set. If, like me, you had an old (B20.1?)
installation with MANPATH pointing to an add-on man
distribution this is exactly the problem you'll see.
 try:
 set | grep MANPATH

 to see if you have it pointing to the wrong place.
You shouldn't need to use MANPATH. Just edit /lib/man.conf
if you need auxiliary directories.
