Perhaps, but that's easy enough to check and resolve.  More importantly,
it looks like you're not set up properly, since you can't find things like
tbl, groff, and less.  Whether you're man pages are installed or not, you're
going to have allot of trouble viewing them without these utilities.  My
guess is your installation didn't work completely or you skipped some 
packages you shouldn't.  I suggest reinstalling and, if you still have
problems, send the output of cygcheck -s -r -v to the list.
