No, it can be, depending on how the environment for the shell is set.I don't even have a ~/.cshrc file (nor ~/.tcshrc). The first thing I do after installing Jaguar is to copy the /usr/share/init/tcsh/ and ~/Library/init/tcsh/ directories and the /etc/csh.* files that I have saved from 10.1. I have "source /sw/bin/init.csh" in ~/Library/init/tcsh/path as well. The MANPATH is set in /sw/bin/init.csh, so I don't have to do it myself.
I, for example, added the man path for Fink in the ~/Libraries/init/tcsh/path file together with sourcing the sw/bin/init.csh in my ~/.cshrc (note that I have no ~/.tcshrc file, I've installed the whole stuff in ~/Libraries/init/tcsh with path, environment.mine, aliases.mine, rc.mine), so that I have all man pages Fink or not Fink related ones accessible under 10.2 and under X11R66.
There is one problem (AKA bug) with fink's handling of MANPATH under Jaguar:
The new policy of Jaguar (as usual never announced by Apple, but left as a guessing exercice for the user) is not to use the MANPATH environment variable at all, but to rely on the (rather limited) intelligence of the /usr/bin/manpath program that tries to guess manpaths from the PATH variable and from some information in the config file /etc/manpath.config.
If there is a MANPATH environment variable defined, it is (rather grudgingly: "Warning: MANPATH environment variable set") accepted, too, and it overrides the default mechanism of /usr/bin/manpath, so fink works, but there arises a problem if fink is installed and some other program tries to use /usr/bin/manpath instead of MANPATH. The result is that their man files are not found. Typical example: tetex installed in /usr/local/TeTeX plus fink's system-tetex.
Here fink really needs to do something, but I haven't had the time yet to work out a full solution nor even to file a formal bug.
