[SOLVED]What's the matter with 'man'?

Hello! I'm using arch for sometime but I found that 'man' in arch can hardly show me the manual page of a command.

0 hzqtc @ pts/2 % man zsh
No manual entry for zsh
1 hzqtc @ pts/2 % man xbindkeys
No manual entry for xbindkeys
1 hzqtc @ pts/2 %

What wrong with it?

Check if MANPATH is set (echo $MANPATH) and if it is look for /etc/profile.pacnew and merge it.  There is a line like this in there which should solve your problems.

# Man is much better than us at figuring this out
unset MANPATH
