Hi All, I have built a set of RPMs that install to some place like: /usr/build with bin, man and lib directories under their. I would like to in the RPM make the man pages from these RPM's available. I tried altering the MANPATH, but when I did this it completely overrided /etc/man.config such that my man pages were available but the system ones were not. I checked out the man.config man page, but it seemed to say that if you use the MANPATH that completely overrides what is set as a MANPATH in that config file. I know I can drop a script in profile.d, but doing so, according understanding means I would have to either: - parse the man.config MANPATH statements being sure to include them in my MANPATH. - override the man.config settings completely. With the second option I can try to guess that they wil have /usr/man in their man path, but on a system where the system admin has altered this config file, I will cause his mods to mysteriously go away. So my question is is there a way to alter the MANPATH that will complement the man.config file? Thanks...james P.S. on HP/UX the system MANPATH was constructed from the file /etc/MANPATH which contained a : delimited list of directories, which made it very easy for depots (HP rpms) to alter the MANPATH, and was very necessary in an architecture where most every package gets its own directory under /opt.
