This is on FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE-p9, with base OS groff, /usr/bin/groff at 1.19.2, and groff-1.22.2_3 istalled via packages under /usr/local/bin.
When I try to run pdfroff 1.22, it pulls groff 1.19: $ /usr/local/bin/pdfroff --version GNU pdfroff (groff) version 1.22.2 GNU groff version 1.19.2 Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Please help Thanks Anton
