4 <para><userinput>PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin:/bin ./configure -default</userinput>:
5 The paths to some programs get written into man's files. Unfortunately, the
6 configure script picks the last location in PATH rather than the first
7 where a program is found. By appending /usr/bin:/bin to PATH for the
8 ./configure command, we make sure that man doesn't use the /static versions
9 of our programs.</para>
11 <para><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../man-&man-patch-version;.patch:</userinput>
12 This patch comments out one of the files in the <filename>man.conf</filename>
13 file (MANPATH /usr/man) because it will create redundant results when using
14 programs like <userinput>whatis</userinput>. It also adds the
15 <emphasis>-R</emphasis> option to the <emphasis>PAGER</emphasis> variable so
16 man pages are displayed properly.</para>
