why do I get the man pages error and how to fix it in fedora core 19?

Question

$ man 2 listen
No manual entry for listen in section 2

How can I fix it? What is the issue here? I am using FC19.

Is this Fedora 16 or 19? – user2357112 Feb 09 '14 at 08:04 — user2357112, Feb 09 '14 at 08:04
Why is the question tagged with Fedora 16, then? – user2357112 Feb 09 '14 at 08:52 — user2357112, Feb 09 '14 at 08:52

Do you have installed "man-pages" rpm package? Seems you have no file /usr/share/man/man2/listen.2.gz - you have to install it with "yum install man-page" or "rpm -i man-page*"

By the way, Why by default the entire man package is not installed? – dexterous Feb 09 '14 at 09:29
When I install Fedora I always choose individual package installation and set installing man pages. Maybe you choosed minimal installation or something like that and there is no man pages? – user2699113 Feb 09 '14 at 09:36
