     Thanks very much to :
     
     Matthew Stier
     Dale Hsu
        Michael Wang.

Matthew's answer fixed the problem: I added "8" to the man.cf file.

Section 8 is not a standard System V man page section.
     
Either move the manpage to section 1m, or add section 8 to the man.cf file
in
/usr/share/man.
