Try recompiling from source. I know there was an issue in the 10.2
days, but they might still be around. I think the end of the PROBLEMS
file has the magic words to make good OSX binaries.

Hi Miklos,

Sorry, after a very long lull I forgot this ..
Did the two-line pipeline I provided work?
No
1) eqn filename -> syntax error "context is >>> x=y+z
<<<",
though it should work
2) grog filename -> groff -e filename
groff -e filename -> syntax error
3) groff -e -ms filename -> syntax error (-ms is what you
suggested)
4) alias gr "groff -set -I directoryname -P -Pprologue-1.19.2-ms
\!:1
temporary-file"
this alias has been working well for a long time, though I haven't
had eqn jobs
here "directoryname" is the directory of all my include files
(e.g. a modified prologue)
gr filename -> syntax error
If I soelim e.tmac, it does not make a difference
Please note that eqn IS called, just it does not accept anything as
valid.
Are you doing this on Mac OS X as your Mailer header suggests?
There's
rumours that eqn as shipped by Apple has issues.

someone
who uses a Mac can comment on the latest situation?
Yep, this is Mac OSX 10.5.5, and I see that Robert has already found
out about this bug.
I wonder how could I get a proper binary.
Cheers,
Ralph.
Thank you Ralph,
Miklos
