I struggled with this just the other day.  I could not get the build system to install the man pages despite many attempts.  I gave up and just did a manual install by copying the man subdirectory of the source into my install directory.

In any case, I don't know why "man mpich" should work.  What would that tell you?  Try "man mpicc" or "man MPI_Barrier", for example.

Perhaps with "man mpich" you are looking for something like the following?

> mpichversion

How do I set the MANPATH mpich-3.0.4 on Debian Wheezy?
The installation location is /opt/mpich.
I tried in ~/.bashrc:
MANPATH = /opt/mpich/share/man:$MANPATH
export MANPATH
but not work.
I call 'man mpich', or is not that what you call the man of mpich?
I researched and not found.

However,
PATH=/opt/mpich/bin:$PATH
export PATH
worked.
