William had put that in the ticket, but because my installation does
not do anything like that, I simply dismissed it. I think we may have
to explicitly set mandir and bindir.
I am curious. On your system is /usr/share/texmf/doc/man a file or a
directory? My installation it is a directory. Here is my configure command:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--bindir=/usr/share/texmf/bin \
--sysconfdir=/etc/texlive \
--mandir=/usr/share/texmf/man \
--infodir=/usr/share/info \
--disable-native-texlive-build \
--enable-shared \
--without-luatex \
--enable-mktextex-default \
--with-banner-add=" - BLFS" \
--with-system-libgs \
--with-libgs-includes=/usr/include/ghostscript \
--with-system-xpdf \
--with-system-gd \
--with-system-freetype2 \
--with-system-t1lib \
--with-system-libpng \
--with-system-zlib \
--with-system-zziplib \
--with-x
Notice I set bindir and mandir to locations inside the texmf
tree (on purpose, I don't mind taking 30 seconds to update
the path in /etc/profile and the couple of mods to /etc/mandb.conf)
Now look at the results:
rml@rmlinux: ~/build > ls -l /usr/bin/man
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 160704 Oct 29 19:26 /usr/bin/man
(notice the date is much earlier than the dates on my TeX files)
rml@rmlinux: ~/build > ls -l /usr/share/texmf/doc/man
total 28
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 361 Dec 31 18:44 Makefile
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 20480 Dec 31 18:44 man1
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 31 18:44 man5
rml@rmlinux: ~/build > ls -l /usr/share/texmf/bin/tex
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 277068 Dec 31 19:32 /usr/share/texmf/bin/tex
rml@rmlinux: ~/build > ls -l /usr/share/texmf/bin/man
ls: cannot access /usr/share/texmf/bin/man: No such file or directory
As you can see it does not install a "man" file (or symlink). Weird.
If you feel like messing with it, set bindir and mandir to the
appropriate places (/usr/bin and /usr/share/man) and see what happens.
As you can see, I did not see the same behavior as you.
