Hi all,

happy to see the follow-up release 1.24.1 having been published.

Unfortunately the neqn-smoke-tests fails on nixpkgs Darwin due:
src/preproc/eqn/tests/neqn-smoke-test.sh: 
/nix/var/nix/b/2v6bz5wkgf7i19n19xp9pz51aj/groff-1.24.1/neqn: line 59: exec: 
eqn: not found

I think this is due the isolated test environment in which the
tests run where groff isn't fully installed yet and eqn
not being in $PATH.
Adding the following to src/preproc/eqn/neqn.sh addresses the issue,
but might not be suitable as a proper fix:

export PATH=$PATH:$(dirname $0)

Possibly this can be solved in the package.nix for groff; I'm looking it.

I'd appreciate if folks more familiar with the testing on groff's side
could evaluate whether this could also be an issue for other build
or test environment and propose a solution from the groff side of things.


Best
Alexis
