It looks like the man pages intalled with gimp have somewhat unusual names: $ rpm -ql gimp | grep /usr/share/man /usr/share/man/man1/gimp-2.2.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/gimp-remote-2.2.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/gimptool-2.0.1.gz /usr/share/man/man5/gimprc-2.2.5.gz So you have to say: $ man gimp-2.2 Instead of just: $ man gimp Has anyone considered adding commands like: $ ln -s /usr/share/man/man1/gimp-2.2.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/gimp.1.gz to the rpm post install script?
