... and you still ignored /usr/local?

If a user on a system had used ./configure --prefix=/usr/local to
install software, the binaries would get installed in /usr/local/bin
and the manpage would get installed in /usr/local/share/man.

So, a search for a valid command pattern by the user will miss both
the binary and the manpage even though it is installed on the system,
PATH has the install directory, and whatis looks for the manpage in
/usr/local.

Regards,
