[mpich-discuss] man mpich-3.0.4

[Ken Raffenetti]

I'm surprised there were man pages to be copied. Did you build from a tarball? The make target uses the doctext and sowing packages to build man pages from comments in the mpich source. If your manpages are already built, you could use "make install-man-local" to copy them in place. The configure option to change their location is --mandir.
