I did as you suggested.

"mount" gives me

C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (textmode)
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (textmode)
C:\cygwin on / type system (textmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type user (textmode,noumount)
d: on /cygdrive/d type user (textmode,noumount)
f: on /cygdrive/f type user (textmode,noumount)
g: on /cygdrive/g type user (textmode,noumount)

man -d gives me

Reading config file /usr/lib/man.conf
found man directory /usr/man
found man directory /usr/local/man
found man directory /usr/X11R6/man
found manpath map /bin --> /usr/man
found manpath map /sbin --> /usr/man
found manpath map /usr/bin --> /usr/man
found manpath map /usr/sbin --> /usr/man
found manpath map /usr/local/bin --> /usr/local/man
found manpath map /usr/X11R6/bin --> /usr/X11R6/man
found manpath map /usr/bin/X11 --> /usr/X11R6/man
found manpath map /usr/bin/mh --> /usr/man

using less -is as pager
What manual page do you want?

I assume that "man gcc" should work because

$ ls /usr/man/man1/gcc*
/usr/man/man1/gcc.1

is listed.

First check mountings with 'mount':
You should have something like:

C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type user (textmode)
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type user (textmode)
C:\cygwin on / type user (textmode)

The last one's most important.

See 'mount --help' for help for mount.

Next check where man searches man-pages with
'man -d'. Should be something like:

Reading config file /usr/lib/man.conf
found man directory /usr/man
found man directory /usr/local/man
...

See also 'man --help' for help for man.
