I did the bootstrapping as described and then 'make dist' to generate a
groff-1.22.2.tar.gz.
I expanded this file at some other place, went into the new groff-1.22.2
directory and typed
./configure --prefix=/home/<user>/groff_test
make
make install
Now whe I type 'groff_test/bin/groff -v
I get :
GNU groff version 1.22.2
Copyright (C) 2013 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
.
.
called subprograms:
groff_test/bin/groff: can't find `DESC' file
groff_test/bin/groff:fatal error: invalid device `ps'
However,
ls -l groff_test/share/groff/1.22.2/font/devps/DESC
gives me
-rw-r--r-- 1 privat privat 189 Sep 24 22:12
groff_test/share/groff/1.22.2/font/devps/DESC
Probably I did something utterly silly, but no idea what.
Please help a poor struggler!
