  <H2><A NAME="5"></A>5. Setting up Man Pages</H2>

<p>After compiling the tree, or after installing the binary distribution you
can get man to recognise the XFree86 man pages by adding 
<code>/usr/X11R6/man</code> to
the <code>MANPATH</code> in <code>/etc/default/man</code>, the line should 
look similar to:
<blockquote><code>
<pre>
    MANPATH=/usr/man:/usr/X11R6/man
</pre>
</code></blockquote>

This allows all users to view the X man pages.  You may change your own
<code>MANPATH</code> environment variable if you do not want everyone to access the
man pages.</p>

<p>By default the man pages are compressed using ``<code>compress</code>'' to
conserve space.  If you do not want to compress the man pages change
<code>CompressManPages</code> to <code>NO</code> in your ``<code>xf86site.def</code>''
file.  Those using the binary distribution can use ``<code>uncompress</code>''
to uncompress the man pages.</p>
