Wow, that request went through quick! Thanks!
I just installed the new groff-19.1 package.
It works as is for what I'm trying to do.
However, I couldn't help noticing a lot of output of the form
<standard input>:2872: warning [p 40, 5.2i]: can't break line
during the build. Actually, of the documentation in the package, for
example grnexmpl.ps looks defective, and there are some errors in
pic.ps, too.
The PROBLEMS file for the CVS version of groff says:
# * When compiling on MacOS X, groff compiles but does not run well,
# especially `eqn', causing many `can't break line' messages.
#
# Use ./configure CXX=g++2 then make as usual.
So I added this setting to the .info file, see attached little patch,
and rebuilt. No "can't break line" messages any more; the sample
documents now look right, and my own stuff still works.
So I would suggest to apply this change to the .info file.
I have no idea what the "GCC: 3.1" line means (is this documented?),
this will probably also have to change?
(I will eventually have to figure out with the groff maintainers what
goes wrong with gcc v3...)
Thanks again for the quick response!
Gruesse, Carsten
