You know, I had recompiled the latest sox srpm, which matches the latest CVS download, and installed the resultant rpm. Thus I was seeing man pages with the same version as the CVS sox. And I wasn't watching when sox installed it's man pages, so I completely missed all this. I've been depending on the source documentation moreso than the man pages; since you caught this things should be much better. > So we need to clean up: sox puts the man pages in /usr/man/man1 instead of > /usr/share/man/man1.

Some extra points here you might want to know about... soxexam.1.bz2 is still in /usr/share/man/man1 and needs to be deleted soxexam.1 is in /usr/man/man1 and needs to be moved and compressed; thus: cd /usr/share/man/man1 rm soxexam.1.bz2 mv /usr/man/man1/soxexam.1 . (Everyone else; don't forget or miss the last space-dot on this move command line) bzip2 soxexam.1 And finally: cd /usr rm -rf man Deleting what the source to binary install put in place, since we are finished. > > Now you should have updated manual pages in the right place. > > > One other slight thing - your original post has a bunch of > =20 characters at ends of lines.

I thought I was broadcasting straight text. I'll check the settings; this Evolution install is just a little over a week and 1/2 old. BTW, I followed your instructions (and added mine), and guess what; the man pages now reflect an entire section on Ogg Vorbis. Very primo cool.
