Where are OS X man pages stored?

I have installed iftop on Mac OS X 10.7 from source but the installer didn't copy the man page to where it should be. I have no idea where it should be either. Does anyone know where I should cp it to?

I found this thread http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=527075 but as you can see no one actually answers the question.

echo $MANPATH

returns nothing by the way.

The man pages on MacOS X are located in /usr/share/man.

Checking a nearby system, the $MANPATH variable's contents look like: /usr/share/man:/usr/local/share/man:/usr/X11/share/man

As for the application you compiled, how did you install the binary? Was this installed from a basic tarball?

On Mac OS X, the /private/etc/manpaths file is the default file that will tell man where to look for manpages.

On my machine, it contains two paths:

/usr/share/man /usr/local/share/man
