You mean, you want (default installation):

/usr/local/nmh/etc/man -> ../share/man

Don't know what I "want".  That's why I  didn't  make a request, but =
asked a question.


I'm not sure I see the need myself; care to explain?  You can change =
the
directory used by the man pages via the --mandir option to configure.

I  did

         configure
         make
         make check
         make install

Therefore, accepting all the defaults.

Than I did  'man scan' and got  'No manual entry for scan'.

Then  I did

     cd /usr/local//nmh
     ln -s share/man man

Now 'man scan" works.

Adding /usr/local/nmh/share/man to your MANPATH environment
variable will allow you to see the nmh man pages (without
adding that symlink).  That corresponds to the
/usr/local/nmh/bin that you already add to your PATH, I
expect.
