Dear Sirs.
After Upgrading and installing FreeBSD 5.1-R-p2 from FreeBSD 4.8 (completely
fresh installation!) I can not do any manpages and can not do a make world
anymore.

Man pages would work when setting up an exported environment variable

export GROFF_FONT_PATH=/usr/share/groff_font
export GROFF_TMAC_PATH=/usr/share/tmac

and appropriate in csh.


I searched the mailing list and found a lot of stuff in the past years
concerning this fault but the solutions (reinstallation of groff) does
not work anymore in 5.1 due to the change of the source code path
(old: /usr/src/usr.bin/groff, doing a make clean depend obj all install,
new: /usr/src/contrib/groff, no make would work correctly).

Can anyone help? How to repair groff? In the past I did not need setup
the environment manually.

Thanks in advance,
Oliver
