*Never* change `aclocal.m4' manually! This is a generated file. The source files for `aclocal.m4' are in the `m4' directory (well, not all of them, but the ones specific to groff). > Unfortunately, the `refer' data directory is not created by `make > install'. I did such creations already several times, but I lost > the knowledge how that worked. You have to add a macro in `m4/groff.m4' to do that, cf. `GROFF_GROGDIR_DEFAULT'. Werner
