At this point in time, I can't remember why I set WEB_PREFIX but removing it has fixed the problem. Sorry for that false alarm. I found another problem triggered by a local change I've made: I have my troffrc set for A4 paper (.pl 29.7c) and this causes doc/share/images/books/handbook/advanced-networking/net-routing.eps to fail with reports of "blank page!!" and "no bounding box". The problem appears to be that "groff net-routing.pic" results in a small picture right at the top of the page - apparently above the 11" point. When "-sPAPERSIZE=letter" is specified during the EPS conversion, the picture is cropped off, resulting in a blank page. Is there a particular reason for explicitly specifying the papersize in the EPS conversion? The ps2epsi script doesn't bother doing this. -- Peter Jeremy
