For the man pages of an executable the search is automatic
if the installation follows the standard layout according to the settings
defined in
include( GNUInstallDirs )
( which by the way solves the lib/lib64 conundrum)
Man looks for the executable and then it backtracks to the man directory
according to the standard Gnu layout
Even without a relocatable installation there is no need to update the man path
And the ooRexx installation does not do anything about it
I usually install to /opt/ooRexx and it is automatic
And when I switch the executable path everything follows
Tested on Darwin, Fedora, CentOs, FreeBSD

All depends on how the autotools handle the cmake equivalent of
if( HOST_DARWIN )
SET( CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH "@executable_path/../${INST_LIB_DIR}" )
else( )
SET( CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH "$ORIGIN/../${INST_LIB_DIR}" )
endif( )
