Makes absolutely no sense to me.

Have you tried truss(1)'ing the man command to see what files it's looking for?
truss -o /tmp/truss.out man xxx
?

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

Can someone explain what this error might be:The following file is probably missing (drop the /stable/ from the path):
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). Can't figure it out...
/stable/usr/share/tmac/tty-char.tmac
It can (probably) be copied from:
/stable/usr/src/contrib/groff/tmac/tty-char.tmac
