after defining GROFF_TMPDIR and noting that the others you

I'm not sure what's happening there. Is "fp" a script you use to
start groff? Also note what Keith said about "TMP, TEMP and TMPDIR
were not all appropriately defined, (and exported, if using a Unixy
shell)" The prompt suggests you might be using "a Unixy shell," so
make sure the values are exported as well as defined.
