Hello, all! I've had a problem making "buildworld" for 3.1-stable. I'd really appreciate if anyone can help me with this. Everything goes fine through building the libraries, and then building the system is fine too until it gets to /share/doc/psd: ==> share/doc ==> share/doc/psd ==> share/doc/title touch _stamp.extraobjs (cd /usr/src/share/doc/psd/title; groff -mtty-char -Tascii -ms -o1- /usr/src/share/doc/psd/title/Title) | gzip -cn > Title.ascii.gz groff: can't find 'DESC' file groff:fatal error: invalid device `ascii' ==> share/doc/psd/contents [...] I goes like this for some 200+ lines until it gets to "share/doc/usd/13.viref"; after the same groff errors, the make bails with: ***Error code 3 Stop. ***Error code 1 Stop. with several more error codes "1" repeating. As far as I can tell groff had been built without error. Although I had set "PRINTERDEVICE= ascii" previously in my make.conf (since I don't have any printer), I tried the "ps" setting and got the same results, only with "ps" substituted for "ascii" in the messages. I recompiled my kernel (my system was freshly installed back on Feb. 5.), kept cvsup-ing the sources, making "cleandir", clearing out /usr/obj, enabling/disabling lpt0 and/or ppbus0 in my kernel (what the hell, I thought), and basically taking every precaution I could find out about. Oh, and yes, the `devascii' and `devps' directories under both /usr/share/groff_fonts and /usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/usr/share/groff_fonts have `DESC' files. All to no avail: I keep getting the results above. So, now I know it must really be something stupid on my part ;-) I'm kinda new to this make world stuff, so Muchos Gracias to any who can send a pointer my way. Hasta! --Rich ======================================== Richard J.
