>From the looks of it, you aren't using a locally built groff, or you passed the configure script '--prefix=<SOMETHING_OTHER_THAN_/usr/local/>' when you built. In the first case, you need to run install-font with the -s flag (use /usr/share/groff; the default is /usr/local/share/groff). If the second, install-font has no flag for installations in unusual basedir locations. I'll have to add one. > Further investigation shows that by 'textmap' the script means > /usr/local/share/groff/1.21/font/devps/generate/textmap > What I see is: > > ls -R /usr/local/share/groff/ > /usr/local/share/groff/: > site-font > > /usr/local/share/groff/site-font: > devpdf devps > > /usr/local/share/groff/site-font/devpdf: > > /usr/local/share/groff/site-font/devps: This would seem to confirm my suspicions. -- Peter Schaffter http://www.schaffter.ca
