Resolution: Works For Me Priority: 4 Submitted By: Rowan Thorpe (rowanthorpe) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Manpages aren't installed to FHS-friendly location

Initial Comment: The manpages aren't installed to FHS-friendly location By default, pd tries to install manpages to ${PREFIX}/man, but it seems ${PREFIX}/share/man makes more (FHS) sense these days? The pages "disappeared" on my gentoo linux system, because they ended up in "/usr/usr/share/man" (!) because of this.. I attached a very simple patch that changes the configure script..

BTW: I accidentally posted this patch to the "bugs" section (and anonymously..oops) because I am not familiar with sourceforge. Please delete the relevant post from there.. (# 1410984)

While I support the "/usr/share/man/" location, this isn't the way to do it. "configure" is automatically generated from "configure.in", so that's the file to edit.

AFAIK, the mandir isn't set manually in "configure.in" or "makefile.in", so it uses the ./configure defaults currently.

at the very least, its currently possible to use "./configure --mandir=/usr/share/man" to get the desired results.
