I solved my problems.

I couldnt run CC or MAN withoput getting:

cc: installation error, cant exec as: Not a directory

Etc etc.. turns out one of the dirs in my path statement refered to a file.

I would think and opsys would ignore it - or error message me but 
continue to look at the next path in line.

Whew!
