## 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/X11R6/man

> `

This allows all users to view the X man pages. You may change your own `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 to compress the man pages change `CompressManPages` to `NO` in your ```xf86site.def`'' file. Those using the binary distribution can use ```uncompress`'' to uncompress the man pages.
