I have been running 3.0-BETA for a couple of days now and haven't had any luck
with any version of man/groff/troff working. man seems fine, then groff cant
find 'DESC' files. giving groff a path with the -F option works but then troff
coredumps. I'm not 100% sure what I am doing but I ran gdb troff it says:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x805f5bb in input_stack::get_location (allow_macro=1, filenamep=0x808604c,
    linenop=0x8086050)
    at
/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/groff/troff/../../../../contrib/groff/troff/input.cc:514
514         if (p->get_location(allow_macro, filenamep, linenop))

bt after that shows:

#0  0x805f5bb in input_stack::get_location (allow_macro=1,
    filenamep=0x808604c, linenop=0x8086050)

/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/groff/troff/../../../../contrib/groff/troff/input.cc:5452
#4  0x8048d6e in _start ()

one other note, I tried to build the groff in contrib and it gave the following
error when running configure:

checking that C++ static constructors and destructors are called... no
configure: error: a working C++ compiler is required

I hope the information helps, If someone needs more detail I can try and help
