Individual manpages are most often installed as part of the package they describe. That said, Red Hat packages will dump the man pages in /usr/share/man/* man will search in paths defined in /etc/man.config and you can specify paths on the command line with -M /path/to/man/directory I'd guess something has gone missing in /etc/man.config.
