My fault I think, /etc/profile also has the wrong order...

MANPATH=/usr/local/man:/usr/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/autotool/devel/man:$MANPATH

will change to...

MANPATH=/usr/local/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/man:/usr/autotool/devel/man:$MANPATH

OK?  Should /usr/local/man be first and should autotool be last?
