O, gosh!... I wrote it from the top of my head and made a stupid
mistake. The actual message is, of course, "No manual entry for bash",
and it's fixed by "export MANPATH=:$MANPATH".

I compiled it myself, I didn't write any explicit --prefix, so
config.log says it's --prefix=/usr (gromacs is installed in
/usr/local/gromacs). Instead of just "make install", I used
"checkinstall", which does the same, but builds an rpm package.

I don't know if it works differently for other versions of man/bash,
but in my case, if MANPATH is empty, changing it to something else
without adding an empty string is not nice.

Thanks
Ignacio
