Regarding the MANPATH error -- I too was puzzled as to why 'make' did not find
my directory /usr/local/man/man1. But it seemed not worth the hassle of fixing,
so I just did

    make ctwm

got my ctwm executable, put symbolic link from /usr/local/bin/ctwm to it.

Then inserted a link from /usr/local/man/man1/ctwm.man to the file provided.

So I did not need 'make install'

It also turns out that there hardly any differences between the new man file and
the version installed on Fedora from the ctwm-3.8.1-3.1.x86_64 rpm package.

   % diff /usr/share/man/man1/ctwm.1x /usr/local/man/man1/ctwm.man
   667a668,670

   > @TWMDIR@/system.ctwmrc

I suppose there will be more differences eventually.
