I just read the rest of your original message... /usr/man is actually symlinked to /usr/share/man

I also built fprot and I noticed that the man pages were put int /usr/man instead of /usr/share/man so I wondered how does that happen? Digging around a bit in the spec file I noticed that _man is referenced and _man in /usr/lib/rpm/macros is defined as /usr/man. aha I says. I am going to change it to usr/share/man and I suspect that it will work but the question is why is this value set this way. Is it indeed an error or should it be set somewhere else? Of course the build should not check in a specific place since it can be overridden by RPM. I am guessing that it is in the Makefile somewhere but have not looked yet. Am I screwing up by changing the _man definition in /usr/lib/rpm/macros?
