Installation of rman

rman is no longer part of the Xorg distribution, however, packages that use it may expect it to be in the same location as your Xorg programs. Adjust the makefile to account for this: 

sed -i -e "s@/opt/local@$XORG_PREFIX@" \
    -e "s@/usr/local@$XORG_PREFIX@" Makefile

Build rman by running the following command: 

make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

make install
