+How to install xdvi for TeX-GPC:
+
+Get the source from
+ https://math.berkeley.edu/~vojta/xdvi/xdvi-22.85.tar.gz
+It unpacks into xdvi-22.85.
+
+Edit config reflecting your binary directory, your man directory
+(i. e. a directory you have write permissions and has a subdirectory
+man1) and the resolution of your printer and then switch to xdvi-22.84
+and run
+../config && make clean && make && make install
+
+Unfortunately this neither works for NetBSD nor for Mac OS X.
+For NetBSD use this:
+../config && make clean && make && ../load && make install
+
+For Mac OS X use this:
+Instead replace the configure script in xdvi-22.84 with macconfigure,
+and replace xdvi.h with macxdvi.h.
+
+The xdvi is configured soley by DVIPSconf/XDvi, move XDvi to DVIPSconf.
+
+You might want to change /etc/man.conf to include your private man pages.
+I boldly replaced the line
+_default /usr/{share,X11R6,pkg,local}/man/
+to
+_default /usr/{helbig,share,X11R6,pkg,local}/man/
+
+For whatever reason, I couldn't make configure work on Mac OS X. Please help!
+
+enjoy
