apropos not working

How come my 'apropos' cmd doesn't work in Solaris but works in Linux? How can I get it to work? Are the files in the 'companion' cd? Thanks.

man catman

I've worked on systems that don't have the 'apropos' command. But your system seems to be giving a different error message. Nonetheless, you can use 'man'. For more information, get a manual on 'man'.

man(1)                                                                  man(1)

NAME
       man - format and display the on-line manual pages

OPTIONS
...
       -k     Equivalent to apropos.
