Hello Where did you search for it ? May be this standard will help you:

Well, the first obvious question is "did you install them?" Why don't you look in /usr/share/man/man2/ and see what you can see? Nothing there? Then try 'rpm -qa | grep man' If the man pages ARE installed, is the environmental variable MANPATH set in your shell? If not, is there a man configuration file (perhaps /etc/man.conf) setting the search path?
