4<para><userinput>PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin:/bin ./configure -default</userinput>:
5The paths to some programs get written into man's files. Unfortunately, the
6configure script picks the last location in PATH rather than the first
7where a program is found. By appending /usr/bin:/bin to PATH for the
8./configure command, we make sure that man doesn't use the /static versions
9of our programs.</para>

11<para><userinput>patch...:</userinput>
12These three patches comment out one of the lines in the
13<filename>man.conf</filename> file (MANPATH /usr/man) because it will create
14redundant results when using programs like <userinput>whatis</userinput>.
15It also adds the <emphasis>-R</emphasis> option to the
16<emphasis>PAGER</emphasis> variable so man pages are displayed properly.
17Lastly, the patch fixes the problem where man pages are not formatted with
18more than 80 columns when used with the recent groff versions.</para>
