Hi,

With the default darcs Fish installation, I could not get manual pages
for builtins like "set".  After doing the following, it now works.

cd /usr/local/share/fish/man
sudo mkdir man1
cd man1
sudo ln -s *.1 *.1.gz man1/
set -gx MANPATH (manpath | tr : '\n') /usr/local/share/fish/man
echo "set -gx MANPATH (manpath | tr : '\n') /usr/local/share/fish/man"
>> ~/.cofig/fish/config.fish

As I understand the manual of the "man" command, "man" expects manual
pages to be stored in a directory hierarchy like "man/man1",
"man/man2", etc. in a directory that is in listed in the MANPATH
variable.

I do not know if the original problem, the hierarchy standard or the
"manpath" command are Debian-specific.  And should MANPATH be set in
"config.fish" or "config_interactive.fish"?
