How do I rebuild the man page indicies by hand?

One of the programs I'm using isn't picking up the right man
page...it keeps picking an old version.  I've removed all old
versions, but man $program keeps showing the old version.  Unless I
missed one somewhere, I believe I need to rebuild the man page
indicies.  How do I do this?

I've looked at makewhatis and whatis, but those don't seem to do
exactly what I think needs to be done.  I'm reluctant to mess with
either until I know what they'll do.

Thanks.
