No manual entry for

I don't seem to be able to get man pages up for any command. When I try the "No manual entry for..." message is displayed. When checking my $MANPATH variable I get the following
/opt/SUNconn/man:

However, when I check this directory it doesn't exist. Searching for any man directories results in:
./var/spool/pkg/SUNWsaipu/reloc/SUNWconn/saip/man
./usr/share/man
./usr/bin/man
./usr/dt/share/man
./usr/dt/man
./usr/openwin/share/man
./usr/openwin/man
./usr/demo/SOUND/man
./usr/demo/link_audit/man
./usr/man
./usr/java1.2/man
./opt/SUNWrtvc/man
./opt/SUNWconn/man
./opt/SUNWconn/saip/man
./opt/man
./opt/FSFgzip/man
./opt/share/man
./cdrom/sun_saip/saip_2.0_u1/Solaris_7/Packages/SUNWsaipu/reloc/SUNWconn/saip/man
./cdrom/sun_saip/saip_3.0/Solaris_8/Packages/SUNWsaipu/reloc/SUNWconn/saip/man

Question I have is, how do I set up my system to be able to use the man pages?

whatis

whatis(1)							   User Commands							 whatis(1)

NAME

       whatis - display a one-line summary about a keyword

SYNOPSIS

       whatis command...

DESCRIPTION

       whatis  looks  up  a  given  command  and displays the header line from the manual section. You can then run the man(1) command to get more
       information. If the line starts `name(section) ...' you can do `man -s section name' to get the documentation for it.  Try `whatis ed'  and
       then you should do `man -s 1 ed' to get the manual page for ed(1).

       whatis is actually just the -f option to the man(1) command.

       whatis uses the /usr/share/man/windex database.	This database is created by catman(1M). If this database does not exist, whatis will fail.

FILES

       /usr/share/man/windex	       Table of contents and keyword database
