PROBLEM: man has stopped working

DIAGNOSTICS:

apropos: manpath is null

Reading config file /etc/man.config
found man directory /usr/man
found man directory /usr/local/man
found man directory /usr/X11R6/man
found man directory /usr/lib/perl5/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 /usr/bin/less -is as pager
No manual entry for ls

BACKGROUND:
Since last known time that man was functioning correctly I've performed
the
following changes on my rh 5.2 system:

1. Installed Xfstt-0.9.10
2. Tried to config networking - misconfigured a few things
- came back to normal- settled with just changing the host name for now

Does anybody know the remedy for this ?

Thanks,

Lasse Jansson

PROBLEM SOLVED: After installing qt2.0-beta I added environment
definitions to /etc/profile in accordance with
ftp://ftp.troll.no/qt/INSTALL - this messed up the MANPATH. (would it had
been different if I had added this to .profile in my home directory ?)
