Alternatively you can rebuild the source tree and the man pages gets built up in the process. I feel the second option is a better choice because the stock tree has lots of compatibility options built into it and then is much slower than a custom tree. Refer to the "make world" section of the handbook to get further information and procedure of the process. Regards S.
