+      <note>
+        <para>
+          The <command>man</command> program automatically deduce the search
+          path for man pages by examining the content of the
+          <envar>PATH</envar> variable, see
+          <ulink role='man' url='&man;manpath.5'>manpath(5)</ulink> for
+          details.  Setting the <envar>MANPATH</envar> variable may override
+          the automatic deduction, so the BLFS editors do not recommend to
+          set it.  If you must set it for any reason, it's better to start
+          its value with a colon (<literal>:</literal>), for example
+          <command>MANPATH=:/opt/somepkg/share/man:/opt/otherpkg/share/man</command>
+          so the paths listed in the <envar>MANPATH</envar> variable will
+          be appended to the automatically deduced value instead of
+          overriding it.
