Try, as root, executing
mandb
This should hopefully update your man database.
Though I have to admit, I'm having problems with the whatis feature, and I'm
trying to figure out when it stopped working - when I updated to the latest
slink or kde. Did your man problems happen after a upgrade ?

Are you using bash as your shell and have 'set -a' in /etc/profile or in any
of your bash startup files? If so, try removing 'set -a' or running man under
some other shell.
Bash hanging with man when 'set -a' was in use was reported as bug #8390
during last summer.
