Summary: Manpages aren't installed to FHS-friendly location
Initial Comment:
The manpages aren't installed to FHS-friendly location
By default, pd tries to install manpages to
${PREFIX}/man, but it seems ${PREFIX}/share/man makes
more (FHS) sense these days? The pages "disappeared" on
my gentoo linux system, because they ended up in
"/usr/usr/share/man" (!) because of this..
I attached a very simple patch that changes the configure
script..
BTW: I accidentally posted this patch to the "bugs"
section (and anonymously..oops) because I am not
familiar with sourceforge. Please delete the relevant
post from there.. (# 1410984)

While I support the "/usr/share/man/" location, this isn't
the way to do it. "configure" is automatically generated
from "configure.in", so that's the file to edit.
AFAIK, the mandir isn't set manually in "configure.in" or
"makefile.in", so it uses the ./configure defaults currently.
at the very least, its currently possible to use
"./configure --mandir=/usr/share/man" to get the desired
results.
