Make a directory /LocalLibrary on your server.
Move /NextLibrary/References to /LocalLibrary
Move /NextLibrary/ManPages to /LocalLibrary
remove existing link from /usr/man to /NextLibrary/ManPages
Create links:
ln -s /LocalLibrary/References /NextLibrary/References
ln -s /LocalLibrary/ManPages /usr/man

Caution:  This is from memory. I may have some of the original  
directories incorrect.  Not responsible for deleted dictionaries.
