/usr/local is a fine location for packages that are installed system-wide but not under control of the system's package management system (like apt or yum). The man pages go into /usr/local/share/man/man1. That's normally on the search path but if not, just point your MANPATH to it. Updates are easy: simply untar the new version over the old one. -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
