Dzięki za odp. - mi się nic nie tworzy, wszystko się wali, pali ... :
# makewhatis -h
Usage: makewhatis [-u] [-v] [-w] [manpath] [-c [catpath]]
       This will build the whatis database for the man pages
       found in manpath and the cat pages found in catpath.
       -u: update database with new pages
       -v: verbose
       -w: use manpath obtained from `man --path`
       [manpath]: man directories (default: /usr/share/man:/usr/X11R6/man:/usr/local/man)
       [catpath]: cat directories (default: the first existing
           directory in /usr/share/man)
# man --path
/usr/share/man:/usr/local/share/man:/usr/X11R6/man:/usr/local/man
# makewhatis -v

To wszystko jest jakimś totalnym absurdem - do tego nieszczęślewe man2html-cgi-1.5p-1:
# grep -r httpd /home/httpd/cgi-{bin,aux}/man
/home/httpd/cgi-bin/man/mansearchhelp:MANSH=/home/httpd/cgi-aux/man/mansearchhelp.aux

Wirus Ra? W ogóle część powinno być w /usr/lib/cgi-bin/man, część w /usr/share/man-cgi or sth.

Zamiast poprawiać szelowe gówno (makewhatis), próbuje zrobić coś na podstawie:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.bin/makewhatis/makewhatis.c?rev=1.9&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

Tam przynajmniej wiem, że to działa out of the box. Fbsdowcy starają się przepisywać wszystkie systemowe toolsy w C.
