With the new /usr/local install tree, most packages only require a one-off
change to your environment to extend your PATH/MANPATH.
Note that if you are a csh user and the proper directories are already in your
path, then you probably need to do a "rehash" to get csh
to look for the program and add it to its hash table of
executable programs.
Although all the examples below put the new binary directories at the end of the user's path variables, it is OK to put them at the front of the paths instead.

sh/ksh:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/bin/X11
export PATH
MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/local/man
export MANPATH
If there are app-defaults files or GNU info files, then you will need
one or both of the following two assignments:
XFILESEARCHPATH=/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/%N:/usr/local/lib/X11/app-defaults/%N
export XFILESEARCHPATH
INFOPATH=$INFOPATH:/usr/local/info
export INFOPATH
csh:
set path = ($path /usr/local/bin /usr/local/bin/X11)
setenv MANPATH $manpath:/usr/local/man
If there are app-defaults files or GNU info files, then you will need
one or both of the following two assignments:
setenv XFILESEARCHPATH /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/%N:/usr/local/lib/X11/app-defaults/%N
setenv INFOPATH $INFOPATH:/usr/local/info
