Following up: There is a wrinkle - first you can issue ./configure --prefix=/usr instead of editing the Makefile, but that's a pretty minor issue. Sox's idea of where the manual pages differs from where Makdrake puts them,though. If you do a 'man sox' after you do an install, you'll think the old version is still there :(. So we need to clean up: sox puts the man pages in /usr/man/man1 instead of /usr/share/man/man1. By default, they are not compressed, and Mandtrake compresses its manpages using bzip2 compression. So as root, you'll need to cd into /usr/share/man1 and move the sox manpages to /usr/share/man/man1: cd /usr/man/man1 mv sox.1 soxmix.1 play.1 /usr/share/man/man1 Then compress sox.1: cd /usr/share/man/man1 rm -f sox.1.bz2 bzip2 sox.1 rm -f play.1.bz2 bzip2 play.1 # play is pretty short, so bzip2 is optional, but you don't want to carry two copies of the same manpage... Since 'rec' is a link to the play manpage, you'll need to re-establish the right links. 'soxmix' is also a link to the 'sox' manpage. rm -f soxmix.1* rec.1* ln -sf sox.1.bz2 soxmix.1.bz2 ln -sf play.1.bz2 rec.1.bz2 Now you should have updated manual pages in the rigth place. One other slight thing - your original post has a buch of =20 characters at ends of lines. This may cause it to be harder to read (ex 'login' becomes 'login=20'.)
