Hi Larry, I seem to have this file: -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 5102 Nov 9 22:24 /usr/share/tmac/tty-char.tmac -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 1551 Nov 9 22:24 /usr/share/tmac/tty.tmac This has been a problem for a long time - none of my manpages work at all. I've tried reinstalling (makeworld/installworld,e tc) to no avail. Also, if I remove /usr/local/share/groff, I get more errors. So I think something is just plain wrong. I've tested my MANPATH and looked at /etc/manpath.config, and don't see problems. I'm getting to the point where I'm losing time by not having some manpages available, etc. Thanks, Forrest At 03:32 PM 11/11/2003, you wrote: >--On Tuesday, November 11, 2003 15:28:03 -0500 Forrest Aldrich ><forrie@forrie.com> wrote: > >>Can someone explain what this error might be: >> >>nroff -man nasm.1 > nasm.man >>troff: fatal error: can't find macro file tty-char >>*** Error code 1 >> >>Long-standing issue on the system I'm using -- it affects usage of >>manpages (they don't work).
