Some ports install man pages under /usr/local/man e.g. graphics/xfig, while other ports do it under /usr/local/share/<portname>/man e.g. graphics/xpdf. >From what I understood from manpath(1), it is hard to specify the path to the second type of man pages, because each new port name needs to be specified separately. Currently my manpath returns: /usr/share/man:/usr/local/man:/usr/share/openssl/man:/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.16/man:/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.16/perl/man Is this a problem to be solved by the user's environment? If so, what is the recommended way to solve it? Or is this a problem with some ports creating man pages in the wrong place? Thanks Anton
