Is /usr/share/man populated?
If it is populated, check your MANPATH enviromental variable setting.
If not, check output of pkginfo to see if SUNWman is listed.
If SUNWman is not listed, you need to install it using pkgadd to get the manpages.

which software-cluster do you use during install? please post the output of:

# cat /var/sadm/system/admin/CLUSTER

I am not using any cluster, simply install developer custom package, the output are as:

# cat /var/sadm/system/admin/CLUSTER
CLUSTER=SUNWCuser

just begin to pickup Solaris, need your help to elaborate:

what do you mean by populated?
# env |grep MANPATH
MANPATH=/usr/dt/man:/usr/man:/usr/openwin/share/man

From the pkginfo SUNWman is not listed.
# pkginfo|grep SUNWman

how to pkgadd manpages?

Thanks

is it a problem to do a clean new install of your machine? if not, reinstall and use ALL+OEM for yout packages during the installation. its much easier...
