Anupam,
What happens if you do:
gunzip -c /usr/share/man/man1/ld.1.gz | /usr/bin/groff -Tascii -man - |
/usr/bin/less -R
hopefully, you get a more understandable error message.
Also, is your environment variable MANPATH set to something
weird? And does /etc/man.conf look ok? (specifically, search
for "fgets", I would think).
