## 5. Setting up Man Pages

After compiling the tree, or after installing the binary distribution you can get `man` to recognise the XFree86 man pages by adding `/usr/X11R6/man` to the `MANPATH` in `/etc/default/man`. The line should look similar to:

> `

>         MANPATH=/usr/man:/usr/gnu/man:/usr/X11R6/man:/usr/local/man

> `

and allows all users to view the X man pages. You can change the `MANPATH` environment variable if you do not want everyone to access the man pages.

By default the man pages are compressed using ```compress`'' to conserve space. If you do not want the man pages compressed change `CompressManPages` to `NO` in your ```host.def`'' file.

Those using the binary distribution can use ```uncompress`'' to uncompress the man pages. Binary distributions also contain pre-formatted versions of all man pages. If you are compiling the server yourself, you need the GNU Tools package installed to get groff, the GNU nroff replacement, to format the man pages. Use the `manroff` script to format the manual pages.
