I've tried reinstalling (makeworld/installworld,e tc) to no avail. Also, if I remove /usr/local/share/groff, I get more errors. So I think something is just plain wrong. I've tested my MANPATH and looked at /etc/manpath.config, and don't see problems. I'm getting to the point where I'm losing time by not having some manpages available, etc. Thanks, Forrest At 03:32 PM 11/11/2003, you wrote: >--On Tuesday, November 11, 2003 15:28:03 -0500 Forrest Aldrich > wrote: > >>Can someone explain what this error might be: >> >>nroff -man nasm.1 > nasm.man >>troff: fatal error: can't find macro file tty-char >>*** Error code 1 >> >>Long-standing issue on the system I'm using -- it affects usage of >>manpages (they don't work).
