I then tried make clean; ./configure --prefix=/home/privat/groff_test; make; make install and got Failed to open /home/privat/groff_test/share/groff/site-font/devps/DESC: No such file or directory 3. Finally I did make distclean; ./configure --prefix=/home/privat/groff_test; make; make install and got the same result: Failed to open /home/privat/groff_test/share/groff/site-font/devps/DESC: No such file or directory The directory /home/privat/groff_test/share/groff/site-font exists, but is empty. The needed DESC-file is in groff_test/share/groff/1.22.2/font/devps, not in groff_test/share/groff/site-font/devps Cheers, ulrich
