Did you resolve this? I cannot reproduce it. The following procedure works fine for me on my Debian-based box. wget https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/groff/groff-1.22.4.tar.gz tar xfz groff-1.22.4.tar.gz cd groff-1.22.4/ ./configure && make -j check "no configure script" makes me suspect that the groff archive you have is not the correct one. The one I obtained from the URL above has a sha256sum of: e78e7b4cb7dec310849004fa88847c44701e8d133b5d4c13057d876c1bad0293 Does yours match? Regards, Branden
