I believe RedHat split groff across multiple rpms, please check you have them all installed. On my system, Mageia, which is based on RedHat, there are five rpms:- groff groff-doc groff-for-man groff-perl groff-x11 Please check if you have them all installed. pbftops is actually in the groff package but the groff executable is in the groff-for-man rpm.
