Java Centos man section 2

Hello guys, I installed Centos 6.2 minimal. I also installed gcc and g++. I know that it should come with system calls library it's installed and I saw the header files in /usr The problem that I have now is man 2 doesn't work and give me the following error message "No manual entry for read in section 2"
