Dear Laurent and Paul,
The difference between the 2 implementations is that Modules 3 sets
MANPATH to "/usr/share/man:/usr/local/share/man" when it initializes
this environment variable.
Modules 4 and newer versions do not perform any specific setup based
on environment variable name.
What I suggest for MANPATH is to initialize this environment variable
to ":" to ask man to look at system man paths (what returns manpath by
default) in addition to looking at specific paths enabled by
modulefiles. This initialization may be done within the etc/initrc
file.
Best regards,
Xavier
