Using a standard "./configure ; make ; make install" everything is placed in /usr/local as that seems to be the BSD way. The executables are found in the /usr/local/bin directory but the man pages go into the /usr/local/share/man directory which may as well be a black hole since /usr/local/share/man is not on the standard manpath. There are lots of possible hacks to make this work, for example: ./configure --mandir=/usr/local but that is ugly. My temporary solution is to add this file: # cat /usr/local/etc/man.d/expletive.conf MANPATH /usr/local/share/man Can't remember this happening in FreeBSD 8. Doug Gilbert
