Nice try. What is means is the the directory /usr/X11R6/man does not exist. It is most likely in your startup files. 'whereis' will search all the directories in your path as well as a couple more depending on what your particular PATH variable looks like. I would suggest you go back to your src dir and look at where the command should be installed and make sure that directory is in your path. The above dir is pretty much a standard. I am gonna make a guess. Either X is not installed, or it was installed in a non-standard location. You need to change your path to include the X directories.
