My fault I think, /etc/profile also has the wrong order...
MANPATH=/usr/local/man:/usr/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/autotool/devel/man:$MANPATH
will change to...
MANPATH=/usr/local/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/man:/usr/autotool/devel/man:$MANPATH
OK? Should /usr/local/man be first and should autotool be last?
