Hey guys,
  Tired of seeing "Failed to open the message catalog man on the path 
NLSPATH=<none>" whenever I tried to run man, I started hunting down what the 
heck this NLSPATH thing was and why it was screwing with my man command.  
It's used by gettext to locate a locale-specific message catalog, and having 
it not set is OK (ie: there is defined behavior for that).  The problem (at 
least on my system) is there was no locale selected for my user.  This was 
easily fixed:
     # export LANG=en_US

  This sets the locale for my current user to English, US.  Run "man" again 
and voila!  No error message!  Of course you need to have the selected locale 
installed. :)

  I hope this helps someone else out there!
