hi.
not sure what you mean by "manpage isn;t installing properly", but if
it's just "complaining about a bogus manpage entry when i try to
`apropos` it": have you updated your databases after installing? you
might have to run makewhatis(8).
also i'm not familiar with the "SCRIPT =" notation, but you might not
need the "MAN =" entry if it works like PROG.
